lashes2508 Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 So today I attended an open day at my local university on my own which was quite an achievement in itself as despite coming across as confident I'm not always but hide it well. I think travelling by my favourite mode of transport ' park n ride ' helped ?? and the bonus was it was free ! I had a nice chat with the tutor who knew my old tutor from college days back in the 80's and went along to a information session only to have my hope dashed of applying for September 2017 due to my lack of qualifications ! So now face delaying for a year so I can do an access course , feeling pleased but disappointed and lacking patience ....... 1 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Can completely understand your frustration But on a more positive note - go lashes :1b 1 Quote
Panders Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 I echo what sunnyday has said, hang in there Lashes - this is a positive step. 1 Quote
louby loo Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Picking up from another thread - you said 'this will be my last Christmas' So from that I take it you are leaving your current setting? With this in mind, unless you are doing an unrelated course to early years anyway, I think taking a year to do the access course could be a positive thing- as who knows?.......... in a years time life my have thrown you in a totally different direction and you might even want to a completely different degree. :1b I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason :1b 2 Quote
lashes2508 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 Thankyou for your positivity , yes I am leaving my setting at the end of July and planning on doing a degree in Social work ! I made the decision back at half term and I Its not been easy since but hopefully I will leave on a happy note and leave the setting where I would like it to be and hope it will continue from strength to strength. My deputy and another colleague are taking the helm which is good for them , the setting and the rest of the team. 4 Quote

lashes2508 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 It's been a long time since I posted probably because I felt unable too , my leaving was traumatic to say the least and I've spent the last few months trying to understand human reaction! Been taking time to adjust and spent a lot of time at the allotment and home . I passed my English Level 2 but now continuing Maths face to face and the access course so therefore uni deferred til next year . I am also doing a GCSE English now too which I'm loving. I still continue my role as Chair of the village hall and it's been lonely but I'm finally picking myself up I think . Hope you've all been well and going from strength to strength. Quote
lsp Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Sounds as though you are winning lashes2508. I am glad things are working out. If nothing else, working in Early years teaches us about being flexible. No such thing as a perfect plan! Don't forget, we are all here to support you. X 1 Quote
