Hi chocy
i am replying to your advice on applying to uni. i have wanted to become a midwife since i was about 12 when i learnt what it was, but i got sick and had to put it off. i now have my offer for edge hill for sept 08, i cant wait. it has been a long hard slog but it was well worth it. when i started my access course, i went to every open day at edge hill as that was my first choice. i made sure all the staff knew who i was, which really helped. as for your personal statemen, talk about yourself personally a little, as they like to know you have outside interests. make sure you talk about how passionate you are, and why you are so passionate. if you want i will give you some proper advice through e mail about ya PS because i was toldmine was very good. try your very est to do something to make you stand out from the crowd. i did holistic therapies, so i am now a Holistic Therapist, doing aromatherapy massage reflexology and indian head massage. in ya PS talk about the Holistic role of the midwife as this is v important in todays society. i worked as a lvolunteer at Liverpool Womens have you applied? this gets you a certificate to prove you have experience. i dont mind sending you a snippet of my personal statement if you want it. take care and good luck x i am planning going to the next open day so if you are going let m know i will meet you and give you some more advice, as i now do it for my college with the careers dept.
