Jenny, BA(Hons) Applied Psychology and Sociology

When deciding whether or not to take the plunge and go back to university my biggest concerns stemmed from knowing I’d have to juggle student life with single motherhood, I was apprehensive about how it may affect my daughter but I need not have worried. It turns out there are a lot of benefits to being a parent at university but the absolute best thing is knowing that I am having such a positive effect on my daughter’s life.

Since starting my course I have grown in confidence having pushed myself to face fears and overcome insecurities so not only is she learning that university is an achievable option in her future, she is learning to have the courage to follow whatever dreams she grows up to have and she will have a role model in me that will be able to use my experiences to encourage and guide her.
