It should be my graduation today, however it is now postponed until 2021. I am sad I cannot celebrate with my classmates and friends, but I am glad I am back home with family. The virus has also made applying for jobs more difficult, I fear I will start my roll in stressful times in the NHS or private sector as we need to wear PPE and socially distance. I also lack confidence due to not being able to be in clinic practising podiatry as our course was cut short, so I have not applied my knowledge in a while. Although, i'm sure I will pick it up again when I start work. Here's a photo of me celebrating my 2:1 honours degree in podiatry!

Right now my mom has lost a lot of hours at work and is struggling to buy food and pay bills. I am also not able to buy food or pay bills until I find another job and so I'm trying to see if my university could help me or my family in any way. I feel extremely depressed not being able to see my family or friends and I'm paranoid of working in close proximity with others even with masks because I've had the virus before and had to be hospitalized.
