steelblade Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I don't know if any of you remember but a couple of months ago I decided I wanted to make some major changes in my life, mainly my career. Well I applied to do a Social Care HND and was accepted. I have just found out my student loan application has been accepted and not only are they going to pay my fees, they are going to lend me over £4000 and are also going to GIVE me £1000. I'm so happy. It's really happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbo Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Good for you - I wish you every success. I'm thinking about doing something similar too, but I still haven't quite got the confidence to go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelblade Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 Norbo If I can do it then anyone can! I still have to get over the hurdle of letting my current employer know of my plans but I plan to do this very soon so as to give them a good length of notice. They have been very good to me and I want to make it all as easy for them as possible. I was always moaning about how I wanted to do something different but I always made excuses like I couldn't afford to do it, or I didn't want to get in debt etc... Now I realise that yes I may be a bit short of cash for a couple of years. I might be in debt when I finish my course but at least I will have given it a shot and I wont have spent years thinking what if. I just hope I enjoy the course now! If not I will have to just pretend because my family would despair of me! They think I'm crazy as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickszz Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Congratulations Steelblade. I'm really pleased for you. I hope you make the most of this opportunity (I know you will). ps - what happened about the HND you were doing, did you dump it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelblade Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 miniminch I'm a girlie! Thanks Lickszz. I carried on with the other HND until the end of the first year. I didn't want to pack it in half way through so thought it best to at least complete the year. I feel a little sad that I haven't completed it all but I guess sometimes you just have to decide whether what you're doing is what you want to be doing for the next 50 years! I just hope I enjoy this HND otherwise I'll have to go and be a bus driver or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
