I have heard in the last few days that my S’s stepdaughter and my God daughters daughter have both been awarded firsts in their degrees,
One Law and one Marine biology- I think!!
When I consider how their courses were disrupted by Covid and lockdown I think this is really good news.

We are waiting, my son, a mature student is waiting for his results in Medical Microbiology from Bristol...all on point waiting. So proud of him, he hated school, left ASAP and then at 28 did a 2 year access course, followed by 3 year degree x

Well done to your son as well. I used to teach Access students and they were so hard working, many of them with families and jobs to juggle, one young man used to work nights then come in to college for lectures. Best wishes to him.

I cannot say just how pleased I am with all your good wishes to the girls.
I am so happy for them both and for all students being rewarded for all their hard work and dedication.
Young people are so often criticised by older generations, it is lovely that we don’t all feel the same.
Thank you all.

Hurrah!

It's a great feeling when they do well, isn't it. Congratulations to them both.
Students certainly have had a rough time in the Covid period. My GD also did law, and followed on with her Masters. It cost her £thousands for the final year of study, but most of it was done with minimal assistance from the University, while studying online from home. Tutors were very difficult to get hold of when she wanted to clarify something. Fees should have been reduced.

Congratulations to them both Annesixty. I know how hard my daughter worked for her MA without all the disruption of covid so really well done to those girls

What a lovely piece of good news Annesixty, congratulations to the ladies for their achievements (I hope you pass everyone's comments on to them).
And to Treetops, keeping fingers crossed your son will soon receive his good news, and you will be walking on sunshine soon too.

What marvellous news, and so nice of you to share it with us all.

Congratulations to , dare I say it, two very intelligent and hard-working young women. (Is there some new, erudite, gender-neutral term I should have used?)

Brilliant News. Thanks for sharing.

I looked at the list of today's topics and clicked on yours first because my goodness don't we grasp any piece of good news just now. Brilliant young ladies showing that hard work really does pay off. Many good wishes.
