Applying for the George Lauder Bursary
Back in January I sat with my mum and contemplated one of the biggest decisions of my life, I had first heard about the bursary at my Higher National Diploma (HND) Childhood Studies gradation in November of 2024. A previous winner Victoria took to the stage and gave all graduation students a speech about her time at Fife College, during her speech she mentioned 'The George Lauder Bursary'. I discussed the bursary with my mum and looked more into the previous winner's blogs.
In January I sent away my application (which was very late). However, it took me a while to find courses which related to my field and current studies which were interesting. I wanted to make sure I chose a university which promoted opportunities for all.
Flying to DC!
As I write this segment of my blog, I am currently in the air, sitting in row 32L (the window seat) on the left side of the plane, bound for DC. The nerves on a scale of 1 to 10 are about 100.
First & Second Day - A tour of DC, 'Paradise' Play, Art Museum and The Canal Town!
William showed me all around his hometown during my first weekend, giving me tips and places to visit. I have created a big bucket list and cannot wait to see it all!
