You gotta be...

As the lovely Des'ree sings 'you gotta be bold, you gotta be wise, you gotta be stronger!' You're right there! Undertaking this course is probably one of the toughest things I've ever had to do. I have been stretched both physically and emotionally by this course. Just when I think I have no more to give, I've  found that this course has asked for more!!! I feel like I'm Mr Bumble from Oliver with all of my lecturers and the universities I've applied for, all lined up holding out their bowls asking for more.     It's tough, it's scary, I often doubt my own ability but I am tough, and I do want to study a degree more than anything I've ever wanted! And if it kills me I'm going to do it. I know that I would make a great social worker, I know I can be a better social worker than those I've had dealings with in the past, and I know that if one of the universities give me an opportunity. I will prove to them that they've made the right decision. I've got my UCS interview tomorrow, so lots of reading ahead for me this evening, then a weekend of revision for my Cultural Studies exam on Monday, plus a look at my english exam. I'm happy with the content, I just want to play around with it a bit.  Getting those distinctions was fantastic but it just means all of my lecturers expect more from me now, as long as I've done my best I can hold my head up high, but to be honest I want all distinctions from now on. My paddling is a bit frantic at the mo, I'm finding it tough going, and the waterway ahead is very windy but I'm a tough cookie, Im determined, very stubborn and not about to rely on the current. I will forge ahead if it kills me. I will think of Linzi and with my theme turned onto full volume I'm going to keep on paddling...x
