Hello, my name is Shannon and I am currently studying my first year of Education Studies at UWTSD Swansea. The website link to the university can be found by clicking on the image below:
The primary reason I am studying this course is to get a degree however I also hope to gain a great deal of new experiences and meet a diverse range of new people.
I decided I wanted to go to university to study education because I am unsure which area to venture into in the near future or what career I eventually want to pursue, although I know I am very passionate to work with children and hope doing this course will help me to decide what area is most suitable for me. The whole process of applying for university was absolutely mind-boggling and practically had myself and my parents pulling our hairs out from the stress and anticipation of waiting for a response of UCAS and eventually applying for student finance and accommodation. But I guess all that was worth is because now I'm here and I couldn't be happier! When I'd received my acceptance email from UCAS I can tell you, its no wonder my mam says I have a bell in every tooth! I'm pretty sure I scared the life out of her while screaming with excitement!
Seriously, I must have walked around with this cheesy grin plastered all over my face for days! But who could blame me? I was now a university student!
Eventually as the days neared when I would finally move out and arrive at my new home in Swansea, which is a good hour away from where I lived with my parents, the realisation that I would have to leave home become more and more real (and maybe a little bit more scary than I would actually like to admit!). When the day came for me to move out I was filled with all kinds of emotions. I was excited and pretty much terrified all in one. After the stress of unpacking all my stuff (and trust me, I had a lot of stuff!) I said the dreaded goodbyes to my family and sat down in my room to let it all sink in. There was pretty much no turning back now, and hopefully in three years time when I have my degree after constantly studying, studying, studying I can look back on all the memories I've created here and laugh at those last minute nerves with the reassurance that this was the best decision I've ever made!
