expect was to receive my first job offer<br />
as a dietician in Karak, Jordan!<br />
I took the opportunity to return to a<br />
small town where I had undertaken<br />
some voluntary work the year before,<br />
assisting the midwives in a hospital run<br />
by Italian missionary nuns. Sr Dolores<br />
was delighted to hear about my course<br />
at <strong>Queen</strong> <strong>Margaret</strong> and my Arabic<br />
course and had me earmarked to return<br />
as the hospital’s first-ever dietician. She<br />
was not at all put off by the fact I had<br />
three years to go until qualifying and was<br />
determined it was meant to be! Watch<br />
this space…<br />
Since returning, I have spoken with the<br />
course organiser of Arabic evening<br />
classes at the <strong>University</strong> of Edinburgh<br />
and have enrolled at Year 3 level. I only<br />
hope I can keep up!<br />
Many thanks are due to the Investors in<br />
Students Committee for supporting me<br />
in this project. It is a summer I will<br />
never forget.<br />
“The quality of the<br />
teaching was nothing<br />
short of excellent, as were<br />
the lesson structures and<br />
course materials.”<br />
