Help with going to back to university


Help with going to back to university
Hi guys so I thought I would write this blog as I know that there are a lot of you who have emailed me about wanting to go back into education but fee like that your pots well hold you back.
So I decided to that I would go back to university this year. I was concerning taking a year off from uni but when I spoke to my tutor at uni he told me that student finance can help me complete my studies. So I called student finance England and they sent me a disability application form. The form was really easy to fill in, and all I had to do was get a letter from my doctor to statue I had pots. After I sent the application off and it took around 3 weeks for me to get an appointment with a disability adviser which I thought was really good. So the disability specialist was great he knew all about pots and came up with some great things to help me stay at uni.
 He has arranged that I can get a taxi to and from university so I don’t have to travel on my own and I received a computer and printer with different programmes on to help me such as a book reader. I will also get a mentor who will correspond with all my teachers when I am too ill to go into uni, and have the class recorded on a Dictaphone so I do not get behind with my studies. I really believe that with these measures put in place I will be able to successfully l finish uni and all these things are free so I do not have to worry about the cost which is great.
I am fully aware that this year at uni is going to hard but I really want to try and get back to normal and I do not want pots to hold me back any more

I am really sorry about any spelling mistakes I have made usually where I am dyslexic my sister will spell check it for me but she is not here today so I had to try and do it myself.
