Two students from Evesham celebrated their graduation from the 国产视频 last week.
Luc Allberry, 22, and Georgia Day, 21, were among those who graduated in the historic Worcester Cathedral.
Luc, a former pupil at Prince Henry’s High School, earned a First Class Honours in Sports Coaching Science.
“After three years of fully applying myself to my academic studies, I feel exceptionally grateful to be coming out of the other side in the knowledge that my commitment has paid dividends,” he said. “I have proven to myself that with consistent application towards a goal, it is possible to achieve greater things that were previously unimaginable.”
Luc now hopes to become certified as a Personal Trainer, with a longer-term objective of establishing his own business supporting clients with aspects of their health, wellbeing and lifestyle. He is also considering the possibility of returning to university to study for a Master’s in Psychology.
Despite achieving a First, studying during a pandemic was not easy, and Luc is grateful for the supportive environment at Worcester.
“During the pandemic, our lecturers all played a key role in adapting the course requirements to enable students, like myself, the possibility of being successful in our studies,” he said. “I am very thankful to have studied under such a kind and caring set of lecturers.”
“A special mention goes out to my academic tutor who has been amazing in helping me to navigate certain personal and academic challenges during my time at university. I couldn’t have wished for a better tutor,” he added.
Former De Montfort School pupil Georgia Day earned a First Class Honours in Adult Nursing.
“Achieving a First Class Honours is rewarding and makes me feel proud that all my hard work has paid off,” she said. “I have had an amazing journey over the three years of the degree and have met many wonderful people including colleagues, teachers and patients I have cared for. I look forward to my nursing career and greatly appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement.”
During the final year of her degree, Georgia, along with many of her fellow student nurses, courageously volunteered for additional work on the wards to help ease the pressure placed on the health service by the Covid-19 crisis.
“I was fortunate to be able to opt-in for a placement - during covid - to help with the pressure on the hospitals,” she said. “This placement enhanced my skills further, and to have worked during the pandemic is definitely something I will always look back on as special as there aren’t many who trained during this time.”
Having finished her degree, Georgia is now working as a Registered Staff Nurse on an emergency medical ward. For the time being she is happy to hone her skills in her new role, but ultimately she is keen to advance her career, further develop her expertise and enhance her knowledge with more training.
