I would like to explain the journey of my studies with the College from the first unit I started I was unsure of my ability in completing the 22 Units of my Diploma. As I was at the time 55 years old and had only completed courses that were no longer than 6 to 8 weeks long, one night a week for about 2 hours.
Having recently successfully completed the Diploma of Professional Counselling with your organisation, I thought that I would take this opportunity to tell you of some of my life experiences and how I came to complete the course.
I never thought I'd be writing my own success story, just like the one's I read at the beginning of my studies. About halfway through the Diploma we were living on a remote island and experienced a traumatic house fire that destroyed ninety percent of our possessions; photo's, books, personal documents, clothes. However, I willingly chose to continue my studies as it enabled me to focus on the future and move forward.
