A little bit about me..

Hi! i’m Kayleigh and I am almost 28. I live with my partner and our two cats, i have 3 wonderful step kids. I enjoy reading, cold water therapy, mindfulness (been really into mindfulness books just now), meditation and of course studying.

I chose to study online because I live a two hour bus ride to any local colleges/ universities. so i decided i would have a look into it and see if I would be able to adapt to learning at home apposed to in campus.

 

So i started off with applying for a higher! i could choose 2 modules and i picked Child and Youth studies and Child Psychology and secondly, criminology. These are both introductions to the topics.

 

I chose the child psychology as my plan is to become a counsellor and life coach for teenagers, eventually having my own business. And i chose criminology because i wanted to look into what it was all about and then at the end wanted to choose which route to go down.

Honestly, i have really enjoyed both subjects. For anyone unsure about learning from home - do it! it is so much more than you think! the tutors are always quick to get back to you and provide detailed feedback and are always friendly!

Luckily I am able to carry on both subjects if I'd like to. I have also been looking in to youth life coaching and want to do that also! Once iv done that I think I'm going to carry on my studies in child psychology and criminology.
