“I chose to study social work because after being in hospitality and retail, for 30yrs I could see the need for more help in our communities and have always wanted to help out in our community where I could make a difference.
Because I had not studied for a long time and my schooling was not the best, I liked the sound of how much support you get from the MIT tutors and staff. During my studies my grammar and spelling skills due to my dyslexia have been a challenge, but with the support of tutors and classmates I have had advice and heaps of support.
I have enjoyed the most, the great support with my studies from the tutors and meeting so many different age groups and cultures that are learning, being encouraged from your classmates to get the assignments done.
Don’t be afraid of the unknown and if you have life experiences then use them and don’t worry how old you are to learn something new. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are, you can always learn something new.”
