A Bristol mum has told of how going to university gave her a passion after she'd reached a point in life when she didn’t want to get up in the morning. Charlotte Harman said she headed to university to 'make a new path' for herself after getting divorced and facing a future as a single mum with two small boys.
Now the 39-year-old from Westbury has completed her final year exams at the University of Bristol, after studying for a BA degree in archaeology and anthropology. She is currently writing her application to continue with a Master’s.
And to top it all off, Charlotte was awarded the Outstanding Plus Award, which is only given to eight high achievers every year. She said getting the award was amazing. "When my category came up at the award ceremony, my eldest slipped his hand into mine and squeezed it. He said: "If you win, we can get ice cream to celebrate and if you don’t, we can get ice cream to cheer you up.”
