Nicola, BSc(Hons) Adult Nursing

I am what you would class as a ‘teenage mother’, however, having my daughter at the age of seventeen didn’t diminish my aspirations or my dreams. It, in fact, encouraged them and inspired me to try harder and my absolute best. I wanted to follow my passion and, at the same time, provide for my daughter. Being in university does become difficult at times and I do struggle, as does every student, but having my daughter is like the light at the end of the tunnel, she is constantly growing.

She fell over the other day, picked herself up, laughed it off (literally) and carried on running. It made me realise that you shouldn’t spend life dwelling on minor bumps in the road, but instead you should keep pushing, smiling and laughing just like Sophie.
