hello i'm new!

just thought i'd say hi before picking your brains lol.
my name is Emliy i'm 27 ande mum to 3 fantastic kiddies. Cerys is nearly 5, Cai is 3 and a half and Eirys will be 1 on less than 2 weeks. I've wanted to be a midwife for a long time and i'm finally biting the bullet and doing something about it! I've recently started doing access with the distance learning centre and i'm really enjoying it so far. I'm only a month in so i'm sure soon enough i'll be pulling my hair out. I plan to apply for Swansea Universitys midwifery programme for next september but i'm all to aware of how hard it is to get in, so if it takes a few goes then i'm willing to wait.

anyway hello!

Hi Gremlin - welcome and good luck with your course! xxx

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you're never disappointed.....

thank you! my biggest and worst fear is the interview process so i will definitly be checking out those bits. i'm reading a few posts about volunteer work, i already do a few hours a week at my daughters school. do you think this is worth mentioning in my PS? my tutor already has me drafting it and i haven't got a clue what to write!

There are ps examples in there too, I mention any volunteer work you do.

There are lots of peeps here too to help with PS's so if you need someone to read it through then feel free to request help!

Good luck with it!
