I Actually did it!

I Actually did it!

I am now a qualified community worker! I finished my course yesterday.

I showed all those people who didn't believe I could actually commit to two years (and get it done in 18 months) and graduate with flying colours. I re-sat my finals and did placement and aced it! I got the top grade.

My tutors and teachers have recommended a great university to go to next year (if I want to) to do a bachelor of social work. Otherwise, if I don't do that, I am going to study Diploma of Mental Health with a focus on peer work. Both are important to me.

I'm kinda stoked! Thanks everyone for following my journey with me... all those highs and lows and muddling on through. Couldn't have done it without y'all!

WOW , YAY, CONGRATS !!!!!

That is amazing news and so great that you could do it even when everyone said you couldnt. Whatever you choose to do next I am sure will be great and you will make a great support/social worker.

@Queenie Good for you, i completed a degree in nursing too when so many told me i couldnt do it. I say get bent, i will anyway. Much love and must say the music of robbie williams helped too!

Hey @LadyCaroline Rob’s song The Impossible was got me through the most. It’s a really great overcoming adversity song!

Gotta love Mr Williams!
