"I'd like to heap praise on my amazing tutor Susan Shuttle. It is through her guidance that I am able to continue making strides towards success." MICHAELA SEATON, CILEx LEVEL 3 PARALEGAL APPRENTICE
Pursuing a career in law has always been a dream of mine, hence when the opportunity to attend Kingston College presented itself there was no hesitation on what my decision would be. I am currently enrolled on the Paralegal Apprenticeship CILEx Level 3 course. Thus far, I have been able to handle the challenges thrown at me because I refused to entertain the easy, but on the more rewarding option of not giving up. College life requires you to transfer and build on your work ethics from school life in order to overcome the arduous tasks that arise.
I would say this is a great opportunity for anyone as you will get to see first-hand what it is like to be a paralegal and a student. I have been able to share my studies with a diverse, knowledgeable set of individuals which proved to be very helpful to my own skill set and how I now process information presented to me. I will end by heaping praise on my amazing tutor Susan Shuttle. It is through her guidance that I am able to continue making strides towards success.
Always remember to “strive for progress, not perfection”.
