Alumni Story: Dr. Shko Resool
Dr. Shko Resool attended Harris City Academy Crystal Palace from 2002 to 2007 and is now a Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon. His journey to medical school and beyond was challenging, but his determination and the support he received along the way were key to his success.
When Shko started medical school, many of his peers came from prestigious backgrounds, which initially made him feel at a disadvantage. However, he soon realised that everyone was on the same level. "It doesn’t matter if you don’t come from a medical background- you can still do it," he says.
Growing up in South London, Shko had no family history in medicine. But the support he received at Harris gave him the confidence to prove himself. He credits the school's strong teacher-student relationships and understanding of how students learn for his success.
To the teachers who supported him, Shko says, “Thank you for all your hard work. I wouldn’t be here without your belief in me.”
Shko’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, hard work, and the right support in achieving your goals.
