I passed my QTS tests *celebration dancing here*
For some this might seem like a small victory... but for me, Literacy tests are my biggest challenge.
It took a hell of a lot of revision and two attempts, but now passing my degree is the only thing standing in my way of studying to become a teacher!
It has been a long road to get to this point...
I took my GCSE English four times.
Fought my way through A-Levels.
Applied to the University of Gloucestershire and got a place in halls...
Before changing my mind at the very last minute and choosing to study in Bristol and stay at home.
From there I have gone on to graduate from my foundation degree and continue my studies at Bath Spa.
If there is one thing that people ask me when they find out that I stayed at home to do uni its "do you not feel like you missed out on the lifestyle?"
My answer to this is simple... whist I didn't go out clubbing every night or have the opportunity to live with other students I had and continue to have the support I need to succeed and as a result have overcome all the challenges that university has brought with it... something I'm not sure I would be able to say if I had left home.
As I said the next challenge is going to be passing my degree. Currently I am getting the best results that I have ever achieved whilst at university and am currently on track to graduate with a 2:1... if I can keep it up!
I suppose in order to pass my degree I should probably quit procrastinating and get on with the my case study assignment that is due at the end of the month and my dissertation as the deadline looms every closer.
Just me,
