On completion of the course, I hope to achieve a distinction in BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care which will help me with my future career. My ambition is to study midwifery at university to ensure a better future for me and my son.

I applied to John Ruskin College because it has a good reputation and hard working students as well as friendly staff. I also chose it because Cotelands is on the same site and I still needed the support from the staff there.

The things I have enjoyed most about the college are the facilities like the IT suite, the library with its learning support, sports activities, the school bus, the café and childcare facilities. I have enjoyed every moment.
