Snowflake Challenge #15

[smallhobbit]

Talk about an unexpected joyous moment you experienced last year.

Going to The Daughter's graduation from Birmingham City University at Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Which might sound like a normal experience, but:
Instead of taking A-levels (the academic post-16 route in England), she went to college and gained a BTEC National Diploma in Outdoor Activities (with 3 distinctions)
She then trained as a paediatric nurse, getting a 2:2 degree from Coventry University
Then, eleven years later, having changed career and taking a block release degree, so working as an Ambulance Technician/Student Paramedic at the same time, she gained a First Class degree in Paramedic Science.

Hence the joy!

this is literally so cool

[smallhobbit]

We're totally impressed. She was never particularly academic at school and was happy to leave, so it's great to see what she has accomplished, by combining both the academic and the practical side - and that she's finally got where she dreamed of being. Thank you very much!
