Hi there

I am 42 years old and have just started my Diploma. I am hoping to connect with a few others on this journey as I am feeling quite overwhelmed and would love to just chat to others.

Thanks so much
Mel

It can be a bit trying but the way I looked at it is, a need is something we cannot do without, like water, air, food, etc. A right is something else that we are all entitled to, respect, dignity, non discrimination, etc

Yes my time on this course to varies as I am working also, as when first enquired was told was a self-pacing course then find out that it wasn't, so between working and this my time gets limited, with work I get behind some which isn't good, and hard to stare at a screen for to long trying to catch it all up, and I am bad before answering questions of going doing a lot of researching first lolll

I am the same, working, being a mum to 3 kids (18, 16 and almost 8) and agree, its definitely not self paced! It can be very trying that is for sure!
