Although Bjorn said that he was overwhelmed by the achievement, the award came as no surprise to his lecturers. At the presentation ceremony Bjorn thanked his lecturers for their support and guidance in a brief speech. Later when asked what message he would give to fellow students, the modest student replied, “Just keep your head above the water all the time.”
