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

Hi Mel, yes more less start this Diploma and I know just how your are feeling right now, first thought when looked at was oh god what have I gotten into loll

Hi Kaza! That is exactly how I have been feeling...working through this slowly but surely! Here if you need to chat at all xxx

Hey Mel, yes is slow for me trying to get my head around this Human Rights and Human Needs part, everything I read up on it to me it should be all joined as one, its doing my head in lol

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 that is the way I was thinking also, just need to put it in the right text as I am bad in putting it, to people understanding it loll.

I think its an issue for a lot of us, I know what I am trying to say but to get it across is a whole new ball game lol

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!

just so you know this will show me online even when I am not as I leave it on, I was at work yesterday when you messaged and about to go again now loll, yes this task1 is taking longer to complete than I wanted it to, but ugh will get there almost completed it, I have a 19 yr old daughter also with depressing and anxiety doesn't help much as being there constant for her also, but hey we will get through this course am sure of it

well have task 1 in and passed so now comes task 2 lol, how you going Mel?
