My daughter Amy , has been offered a place at Gloucester Uni ( Cheltenham campus ) training to be a teacher , I am really proud , it might not be a big deal for some people , but she will be the first from our family .
Well done I hope she enjoys it.
Congrats! All the best to her!
Thats great i hope she has a good time.
Congratulations. Speaking as someone who is also undergoing their degree, its a long road ahead, but I'm sure she will make it no problems

Jammy bastard, LOL! I'm doing all theoretical stuff at UH, and making tea and researching wheels and trailers in my placement year! :lol :lol
Ive been actively 'steering' my daughter towards uni for a few years now, havent given her much choice tbh, since she was 12 and had to choose her subjects weve told her she IS going to uni
She's only 17 but we're hoping she's going to study to be a teacher as well
Amy will be 21 this june , she stayed on at sixth form and got good A levels , she has been working in Homesense since she was 17 , she wanted to go to uni but wasn't sure want career path , but the last 18 mths she has been doing 1 day a week voluntary work at Ilminster ave primary , the head advised her to try teaching as she has been really impressed with her and helped her prepare for her interview . I'm just really chuffed for her and hopefully she will be doing a job she wants to do .
Fair play to anybody who can do a degree while holding down a full time job , I went back to college in 2003 at 38 to do a testing inspecting course , that was only 6 weeks 1 day a week 3hrs a lesson , and that was a struggle doing that after working on site all day long , I take my hat off to you and hope you all pass .
I suppose you can see it as it being hard, I think working alongside it helps me through my degree - my 15 years experience as an engineer means I can relate my practical knowledge to the theory that I learn in uni, meaning I remember it better (if that makes even the remotest bit of sense :lol).
Im sure your wee lass will skoosh it mate, and it will be a proud moment for you when you get to see her in her graduation hat and gown :thumbup
oh goody.............fresh meat :evil
You're justly proud too. Its good to see your youngster doing well
Good luck to her, same Uni my Niece went too and she enjoyed every minute of it nice to see some of the younger generation making something of their lives.
I have two at uni at the moment...interesting times ahead for you!
Thanks to everyone for the congrats , she has been offered a place in Bath and Plymouth as well , teachers at the school where she does voluntary work have advised her to go to Bath , she hasn't made her mind up yet but will probably go to Bath .
Brilliant
My eldest niece, is at uni. studying to be a teacher, she is in her final year but loves ever minute of it and the kids she has worked with.
When she graduates she is going backpacking in the USA and looking to work in the summer camps over there
It helps that her mum is a head teacher of a nursery, so that is where she gets it from. Pity I'm the thick one of the family :'(
Your niece will have a great time backpacking round the USA . Amy gets her brains from her Grandad , they skipped a generation with me .
