[QUOTE="Sarah_00, post: 147468, member: 30314"] I was inspired to create this thread, I would love to share my journey and I hope to document personal growth as well as any achievements. I'm the first in my family to attend university, an immigrant family, with a single mother and I don't have a proffesional network to ask for support. When it comes to law, I'm on my own. But this forum helps a LOT! A levels: A,A,B Currently, I'm entering my third year in September with a low 2:1 (EC) and my first year grades a high 2:2 (EC). After the pandemic, I developed anxiety and low mood disorder with periods of depression. With support from family and friends I received some therapy in my second year, its really helped and my grades improved even if its not exceptional. I have now completed therapy. In my first year I didn't do any extracurriculars and I worked in a fast food chain instead. I don't work there anymore. In my second year, I got a sub comittee role, joined AS, volunteered with societies and participated in some extracurriculars. I completed an internship abroad and a few days in court. I am in the process of applying for ambassador roles and I have joined the Pro Bono group this year, where I hope to join the clinic. I'm undertaking a week long council research project and completing courses on Vantage. I have grown a lot as a professional and attended networking events which helped my confidence grow. Third Year: I hope to achieve a First. Why not? It counts for 70% and I believe I can do it, because I finally feel like me again. I will apply for Vac Schemes this year, I know my grades put me at a disadvantage but I want to familarise myself with the process and gain mentoring. I didn't apply last year and I hope to learn from this application cycle. If rejected the plan is to apply the next cycle: I want to do a paralegal job for the year so I can gain insight on the inner workings of a firm. Then apply. If I gain a TC, I will complete my masters then start my TC. I hope to persevere. [/QUOTE]
