Watch: Anchored In Dedication- Gozo Fisherman Achieves First Family Graduation
Christian Axiak, a 21-year-old from Xewkija, Gozo, has made history as the first member of his family to graduate from university while continuing to work as a fisherman.
Axiak will be among the 1,718 students graduating from the University of Malta this month, receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Sports Science and Physical Education.
Balancing work and studies was no easy feat. Christian would rise early to go fishing before heading to lectures and dedicating himself to his academic pursuits. Despite his demanding schedule, he remained committed to achieving his goal.
He credits his family for being his anchor and support throughout his journey. Looking ahead, Axiak plans to continue his education by pursuing a Master’s degree in Physical Education.
The University of Malta highlighted his story on its official website, calling it an inspiring example of how dedication and perseverance can overcome even the most challenging obstacles and lead to success.
Congratulations Christian!
