I did it.
I’m a single mum of 2 young children, I escaped a narcissistic ex, decided to try and gain a career in an area I previously had no experience in or real knowledge of.
It meant undertaking a full time masters degree whilst also working full time hours and today I got my results.

I got a DISTINCTION!!!!

I’m so happy I can’t stop crying (not helped by the fact I’ve drank a lot of red wine to celebrate Grin)

Not boasting but I’m so happy I really wanted to share BlushGrin

Best day of my life. Today is a new start

god I did mine with no kids and a part time job and it just about killed me. You are amazing!

This gives me hope, hoping to be graduating June 2021 and getting bogged down in it sometimes, similar personal circs as well.

Congratulations, such an achievement you and your family must be so unimaginably proud!

A line from one of my favourite songs is "pat yourself on the back and give yourself a handshake"

Congrats OP, you deserve all the plaudits. Good luck for the future.

Well done!! You are brilliant, carry on and things will fall into places.
Never depend on a man- that’s what my mom drummed into me.
Being able to forge your own fate/ earn money is what’s important. You’re on the right path.
