๐Ÿ’ป Guess whoโ€™s got a ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ? Oh yes, that is me. Over 3 years of hard work has led me to this and I feel so proud of myself. Starting a degree during Covid and homeschooling children and working is just insane when I think back.โฃ

As itโ€™s an apprenticeship, through my employer, I still have some work to do to finish off. But my certificate is en routeโ€ฆ the hard work is done. I wouldnโ€™t have been able to do this if it wasnโ€™t for my employer giving me time to study and Hubby for giving me the space to work into the evenings and weekends. Itโ€™s a lot of time. And I will be forever grateful. โฃ
โฃ
I love learning and itโ€™s something Iโ€™ve always wanted to do, as I left uni at 20 without my ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜„ degree. It was my biggest regret leaving so close to the end. But Iโ€™ve done it now and thatโ€™s the main thing. โฃ
