30 years since Melissa had studied.

Imagine if she'd decided that meant it was too late to start again.

One of our recent graduates, Melissa, returned to study after a gap of around three decades.

She could have focused on how long it had been.

Instead, she focused on where she wanted to go next.

Now she's completed her qualification and has this message for others:

“Y𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦… to study.”

As a Course Advisor, I speak with plenty of people who worry that they've been away from study for too long.

But those years haven't been empty.

You've been working. Learning. Solving problems. Raising families. Leading people. Building businesses. Living life.

You may be returning to formal study with far more knowledge and experience than you realise.

“Y𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲"

Those words came from Melissa, one of our graduating students who knows exactly what it feels like to return to study after a LONG break.

In her case, it had been around 30 years.

Thirty years of life, work, family, responsibilities and experience since she'd last been a student.

It would have been easy to think:

It's been too long.
I'm too old to go back to study.
Will I even know how to do this anymore?

But she did it.

And now, from the other side of that finish line, her message to anyone else wondering if they've left it too late is beautifully simple:

“Y𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦.”

Your last experience of study might have been 5, 10, 20 or even 30 years ago.

That doesn't have to determine what you do next. 💙

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆.

Some people initially talk about everything they'll have to give up:

The money.
The evenings.
The weekends.
The effort.

Others talk about what they hope to gain:

More confidence.
Better skills.
A promotion.
Greater earning potential.
A career change.
Or a qualification that finally reflects years of experience.

And sometimes, during the conversation, I can almost hear someone's perspective shift.

They stop talking only about 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 and start thinking about 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲.

That's why this quote resonated with me:

“I𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦.”
– 𝘋𝘳 𝘞𝘢𝘺𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘺𝘦𝘳

Study does require an investment.

I asked the librarian if she had any books on paranoia.

She whispered, “T𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶” 😂😆

“I𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.”
– 𝘋𝘳 𝘞𝘢𝘺𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘺𝘦𝘳

I came across this quote again recently and immediately thought about some of the conversations I have as a Course Advisor.

Two people can be looking at exactly the same opportunity and see something completely different.

One sees the cost of studying.
Another sees an investment in their future earning potential.

One sees the hours they'll need to find each week.
Another sees those hours as an investment towards a promotion, career change or becoming better at what they already do.

Neither person has unlimited time or money. They're simply looking at the decision from a different perspective.

I've spoken with so many students who initially wondered, “Can I really justify doing this?”

Then something changes.

They start thinking about where they want to be in 2, 5 or 10 years and asking a different question:

“W𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘯𝘰𝘸?”

Someone else's success doesn't have to make you feel behind. It can show you what's possible.

Maybe a colleague gets promoted.

A friend changes careers.

Someone your age starts a business, earns a qualification or finally pursues something they've talked about for years.

And suddenly you find yourself thinking:

“W𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦?”

That question doesn't have to come from jealousy or regret.

It can be the moment that makes you take stock of your own experience, recognise how much you're capable of, and decide it's time to invest in what's next.

You can't change the opportunities you didn't take five years ago.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲.

And that decision can start today.

Why doesn't the dog want to play football?

Because it's a Boxer 😁😂

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.

It might be seeing a colleague get the promotion you wanted.

It might be watching someone with similar experience achieve something you hadn't thought possible.

It might even be someone telling you, “You'll never be able to do that.”

Or perhaps you simply look at where you are and realise you're capable of more.

Those moments can sting. But they can also become a catalyst.

They make us stop and ask:

What have I done so far?
Where do I want to go next?
And what do I need to do differently to get there?

We've seen students turn moments like these into some incredible achievements.

Not because everything suddenly became easier.

Because they made a decision to act.

Sometimes that decision is the beginning of everything that comes next.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 💙

One of our students recently completed her Dual Diploma while working full-time in her own business and navigating some VERY difficult personal challenges.

After finishing, she shared these words with her trainer:

“D𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘬𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦.”

She also told her trainer how much she had benefited from the study and the new knowledge she'd gained along the way.

We're incredibly proud of her achievement.

Because behind every completed qualification is a real person, with work commitments, family responsibilities and sometimes challenges nobody else can see.

And sometimes, having someone in your corner encouraging you to keep going can make all the difference.
