This weekend saw the culmination of 4 years of blood sweat and tears! (Well 5 years really!) I finally graduated - meaning in the eyes of the world I am now 100% officially a teacher - celebrations can be heard throughout the lands! It was a spectacular day, that I cannot deny, and it was lovely to share it with family and friends also. It was also an immense feeling of pride to be able to stand over what I have accomplished against the odds and know that I had done this myself, by myself, for myself. Isn't that incredible?? Most of you guys will know that although I qualified in Ireland I do now work in England and it was a personal choice I made for me and something I felt I had to do for my own personal life journey - and I'm learning loads so it has been a success so far!! Education truly is a lifelong journey and I couldn't be prouder of myself for what I've accomplished in spite of all the obstacles i faced!
It was also really nice to be home for a weekend - its surprising how quickly you can become wrapped up in your own bubble of your new life! It's only been 7/8 weeks since I moved and it's crazy how easy it is to assimilate and forget that you have people in Ireland who care about you and are waiting to hear how you're getting on too! This is something I definitely need to work on in the near future!! Ireland is only an hour away but when you're living your own life it's sometimes easy to forget the life you left behind.
Seeing my parents was incredible too and my nephew! Family really is the best way to raise your spirits! My poor Dad was so proud to see me graduate - proper tears of pride from Larry! I'm back home next weekend too so that I have a chance to proper catch up with friends and family for a week rather than a crazy rushed weekend. Its been a good life this past while - goes to show you have to take a leap and trust your instinct! Whats meant for you won't pass you!
