She said:
“I've gained the theoretical knowledge of these issues, but my children gave me a lot of input and on-the-ground knowledge of what it's really like."
A sense of accomplishment
When she finally graduated, she noted that she felt a sense of real accomplishment and that it helped her children see the need to work towards an achievable goal.
Her words:
“It gave me intellectual stimulation and something to really focus on and counter the thousands of loads of laundry and dirty dishes. And a real sense of accomplishment. My topic around vaping is a social justice issue, which has also been positive to show the children the importance of working towards something you feel will hopefully make a difference."
One how she was able to combine her studies and raising five children, Lucy said she made use of every little time.
She said:
“In a busy household with children, there's so much that's unpredictable. I felt like, when I got time to sit at my desk, it made me work more effectively.
“Also, the nice thing about having the kids is sometimes they force you to do something else. And when you're dropping someone somewhere or making dinner, then you come back to your work and see it with a fresh perspective. It is by chipping away at these tiny pieces that you manage to get done, over time, you find they are, in the end, a really big thing that you can feel proud of.”
