What I wish my mom had known about university...
I wish my mom had known that...
I was all over the place before I came to uni. I didn't get the best grades following college, so I felt quite demotivated with my goals (I thought uni was no longer an option for me), which then left me thinking it was either a full-time job or an apprenticeship of some sort.
I was fortunate to be told about Clearing and did my research before applying to the University of Staffordshire. 3 years later, I have completed my BA degree, and now I'm studying an MSc!
Whilst being at UoS, I've met so many people, through my course, through work, on nights out, in societies, and much more! I can definitely say I've met a lovely bunch of people and I'll cherish these relationships 
I've been thrown so many opportunities whilst being a student, so not only have I learned a lot of skills through my studies, but I have gotten chances to sell my art in-person, attend networking events, work as a Student Content Creator (which has helped me so much with character growth), and even do a work placement in my degree!
I was already fairly independent before moving away to uni, but since then I've learned a lot more. From cooking meals and applying to jobs, to budgeting my finances and learning how to deal with my emotions. It's been a whirlwind, but it's definitely benefitted me massively!
Over the past year, I have started to be recognised for my work and what I stand for! Earlier this year, I was nominated and shortlisted for the 'Arts and Culture award' at the Inspirational Youth Awards, and now, 8 months later, I've been nominated for yet another award - this one being the 'Inspirational Person of the Year award'.
Between these events happening, I was also invited onto both BBC Radio WM and Greatest Hits Radio Stoke, to talk about my journey and experiences so far
I've had an incredible experience so far, and I can't wait to see what's next to come!
Feel free to drop any questions below, I'll do my best to answer them!
Wishing you a happy holiday and new year🎄❄️,
