Foundation Year Students
Tilda
Tilda was a mature student starting her final year of a midwifery degree when she did a Grit 1-day workshop at the University of Hull.
“Grit gave me the tools to turn my mindset around. Now, when I come home after a bad shift I’m able to step back, understand what’s out of my control – the short staffing, the way the patients are with me – and focus on the things I can control.”
Kenisha
Kenisha was in her second year at the University of Greenwich when she did a Grit Programme.
“I was finding the workload very difficult to manage. There was so much of it. I often felt overwhelmed, paralyzed. I spent a lot of time just procrastinating. I thought I was the only one struggling like this. "
Callum
Callum had just graduated from university and was when he went back to do a Grit workshop.
“I was having real problems with the process of getting a job. My heart was just not in it. I had a massive problem with self confidence, about where I wanted to go in life. I’d become what my younger self would call a failure”
