A set of triplets believed to be the first to graduate all together at the same university with first-class honours have said the moment was “bittersweet” after the loss of their father.
“Moving forward, it’s very much going to be a parting of the ways and moving on and doing our own things, so this is the last big thing we get to do all together.”“It was definitely a huge encapsulation of all of our education together, just the last moment that we all share, I think was very, very impactful, for me certainly,” he said.
“It very exciting to see the fruits of our labours – it’s been a rough couple of years and also academically challenging,” he said. “I would say to everyone who is in that situation, and in life in general, to cherish the ones you have in your family and your friends and the people close to you because you never know what’s going to happen.”“We had a really supportive group of friends and we really had a sense of togetherness and being able to rely on each other,” he said.
While the triplets feel as though there is a “competitive edge” to their dynamic, they have always supported and “rallied around” each other throughout their childhoods and their time in education.
