My DD has just received formal notification that she has gained her Bsc Hons degree!!  She studied via the Open University (not sure what the US equivalent is) which meant 5+ years of part time study at home, equivalent to a 3 year degree (with a few week-long tutorials thrown in) while working full time and running their home. I have been blown away by her commitment to her studies over these years, often having to forego social stuff because an essay was due or she had research to complete etc. She was about to commit to a uni degree course after college but decided at the last minute that she didn't want to live away from home and opted for the home study route instead. I'm so, so proud of her for staying the course and for what it says about her  |

I know how hard it is to combine studies and work (both full time work/part time studies and the other way around), so this is certainly an achievement your DD has every reason to be proud of.

Many congratulations to your DD, it's a huge achievement! Gaining an Open University degree whilst working, running a home etc., takes enormous commitment. Enjoy her very well deserved Graduation ceremony and sending every good wish to her for the future.

Congratulations to your daughter gar! I did 80% of an HND through the the Open Uni, and then stopped as I was fed up with studying, working, and having a new baby. I greatly admire anyone who earns a degree in this way; it is a long hard slog, and you must be very proud indeed.  |

Thanks ScrapsontheRocks The best thing is that she's not particularly academic and she's had to work really hard for this which almost makes it more valuable, certainly in terms of her self belief. |

Many congratulations to your daughter gar You have every right to be proud of her and to shout it from the rooftops. It's not easy doing an OU degree. I know a couple of people that have done it and it's been a very hard long road so she should be doubly proud of herself. |
