Where my Uni Journey Began
After having 5/6 years out of University, in September of 2020 I went back to finish my final year. Lets start from the beginning in 2013 I started studying at the University of Huddersfield studying BA (Hons) Photography. At the time I was 21 years old and had a year or two out of education after doing 3 years at college, my plan was never to go to university as I felt I would never get in due to the fact my grades were not the best and I had always struggled with the academic side of things. After watching a program that Shane Lynch from Boyzone had done on him being dyslexic, it made me think that maybe its something I could do. So after talking about this with my parents I decided that I would apply for Uni and even if I did not get in it was worth a try. I applied to 5 universities and the only one to give me an interview was Huddersfield. I took in a portfolio of work after a month or two of waiting to see if I had been accepted, I finally got a notification to say I had been offered a place on the course. I was ecstatic, I could not believe that I had got into university and I was going to finally be able to study the project I always wanted to do and eventually pursue a career in.
