3 emoticons that describe me best
Why did you choose to study paramedicine ? I have always wanted a career that is fulfilling , exciting and rewarding , especially when it comes to helping people . I am a kinesthetic learner and I love how hands-on this course is . Every day is different !
What is one thing you wish other people knew about what it ’ s like to study paramedicine ? You will be pushed outside of your comfort zone every single day , both in the classroom and on placement . It ' s challenging , testing and stressful at times , but so rewarding and worth all the energy and effort it takes to succeed !

What ' s the hardest thing about being a studying mum ? Finding the balance between family life and fulltime study .

I am constantly on the go and get very little time to stop and relax .
Did you make any resolutions this year ? I did make a few actually , but the one thing I will be working hard on this year is building my confidence and believing in myself more . I would love to see myself how others see me ! I have also joined the gym for the first time this year ... so we ’ ll see how long that lasts .
Best advice you ' ve ever received : The only people you need to impress are your 5-year-old self , and your 85-year-old self . My greatest fear is getting to an old age and looking back on my life knowing I could have done more .
Best advice for other students : Don ' t let the ball drop . You think you have more time , but you don ' t ! Set smaller goals that help you achieve your long-term goals .
