I felt a great sense of accomplishment but also relieved, as it wasquite intense and at times I found it hard to juggle the degree and mywork. I couldn't have done it without the help and support of theschool, staff, friends and family. The Young in Herts grant fromHertfordshire Council was also a great incentive.
