WHAT DOES THE NEXT STEP FEEL LIKE?
-
The most satisfying thing about being a teacher is that moment when a student shouts out, 'Oh, Miss...I get it, I get it!' That's it, those few words right there... coming to the University of Cumbria enabled me to reach my potential and go into a wonderful career. Expect to be motivated to become the best that there is.
