Although I finished my bachelor’s degree and was awarded my testamur (certificate) in December, I had my actual graduation ceremony today out at the Mt. Helen Campus of Federation University. Present with me were some unlucky fellow graduates who finished theirs at the end of 2019, forced to wait for their physical ceremony for a year and a half due to COVID-19.

Graduating with my first degree at 38
I never went to university after high school, electing to instead enlist in the Royal Australian Navy. So in 2016, after a few different career paths, I decided to undertake study at Federation University in Ballarat as a mature-aged student. I had no idea how much this new journey would challenge me, and how much I would gain from it. It truly changed my life.
