AIBU to be so bloody proud today

I have had what can only be described as the worst possible year I've ever had.
I lost my beloved nan, my dad nearly died in hospital after surgery for cancer.
Me and DH lost our house and are homeless with 5 of our 8 children.
But.. today I passed my first year exams. Never ever did I think it would happen. This is for a professional qualification that will change our lives.
For the past year I have worked so bloody hard, getting up at 3am to do coursework then go to work full time plus spend a little time with the kids. Today it is all worth it.
Just wanted to share Smile

Yourallmyfavourite1 · 17/08/2018 21:54

Thank you all so much, I'm not one that usually shouts about my achievements but this just feels amazing.
I had my first DD at 15 and everyone pretty much wrote me off.It might have took a few (20) years but finally I'm doing something for me and it would seem I'm not too bad at it 😊
I really do hope my children see it as a good thing. I'm doing it for them as well, so they've got a better future but I know the small ones miss me a lot when I'm at uni and work.
