Yesterday was a tiring but brilliant day. Not only did I turn 47 but I also graduated with a first class honours in speech & language therapy. I won two awards. Best of all - my family were there to see and share it all with me. #mmu #manchestermetropolitanuniversity #graduate #graduation2025

Good news post. Pleased to say that I earned myself a first class degree. Hopefully proof to all that you’re never to old to start over and learn something new.

One month left to finish my dissertation. Loving the research but the responses have been emotionally challenging. Hope I manage to do the participants who shared their stories justice.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them.

Be really great to hear from any mature students who have qualified as speech and language therapist in their late 30s & 40s because right now I am having a real crisis of confidence in my ability to find employment when I graduate in summer compared to those who are graduating in their early 20s

Had a great day! This morning I reviewed referrals & observed a CELF assessment. Was reassuring to see that my observations were the same as my Practice Educator. Really feel like it’s all coming together.
Could not have asked for a better final placement & team.
