Part Four: Student transformations<br />

Psychology to Social Work because it will suit my intended employment<br />

outcomes better. Even though my life has had the most tumultuous change<br />

recently with the break-up of my marriage, resulting in my having had a<br />

total nervous breakdown, I am still so excited that I have this chance to be<br />

re-educated and change the course of my life.<br />

<strong>STEPS</strong> was not at all easy for me. I struggled with everything — the maths,<br />

English, everything — but what a great thing to overcome and do. I could<br />

not recommend it highly enough to anyone who is thinking of changing<br />

their life choices by gaining further education. The program equips you so<br />

thoroughly in more ways than just academically; it grounds you into the<br />

study mode that gaining a degree requires. Additionally, it eases you into<br />

the academic world of a university, taking the mystery out of uni life and<br />

familiarising you with the campus, which in itself was worth attending the<br />

program for. I am one very happy <strong>STEPS</strong> graduate, who is in the process of<br />
