Re: Taking the plunge
I just had some news that I am a bit excited about and wanted to share. My application to graduate was approved 🙂👍
It means I have (or will once they send it to me), an associate degree (in a social work/community services kind of area) 🎉 It's not the bachelor's degree I set out for but it is something and something kind of significant and more than I had before today. It's hurt so, soooo badly to have lost all of the study I did and this is some recognition that it wasn't all lost and I actually did achieve something. From a practical perspective, it should also help a lot when it comes to applying for further study and/or employment. I'm a little excited 🙂

Ohhhh @CheerBear .... such wonderful news.
I was out when your post came through (grocery shopping) so took me a while to get to respond.
But thats really good news ... especially when you were feeling so down earlier. This should really give you a lift. Hope so anyway. At least your hard work up until now has been acknowledged and given due merit. No wonder you are excited. I am excited for you too. Well done and congratulations. 😃🥂💕
