Hi guys,
I hope you all had a good weekend! Some of you migth remember that ten days ago now, we asked you to share some memories around your favourite teacher for World Teachers Day.
Now looking at the other side of things, it's World Students Day! 
What did you study, or would have liked to study? Are there some memories you especially cherish from your student years?
I studied Modern Literature, which included Latin, Ancient Greek, Old French, and all sorts of Literature genres and ways to approach them. My favourite student year was my Erasmus year, which I spent in London where I still live to this day!
Looking forward to your replies!

Well you shouldn't feel like that at all @Anonymous.
I remember one very esteemed tutor telling me that qualifications looked good on paper and usually only satisfied prospective employers.
I left school with nothing to show for it. I went into nursing via a cadet scheme which is no longer available.
If I tried that today, I would be accepted only as an auxiliary.
Nurses today often have more qualifications than doctors. It doesn't necessarily make them good nurses.
In my opinion, there is nothing to beat the 'University of Life'

I think the only certificate I’ve got is from The Tufty Club!
I have a Blue Peter badge 
How interesting this thread is ... learning about friends on the O2 Community
I didn't even get a swimming certificate ... 
I have my son's 'Record of Acheivement' including GCSE certificates, reference from his secondary school, & his report from when he did 2 weeks work experience with a local civil engineering company ... he works in computers now
I have qualifications in office administration ... but ... anyone can do a letter etc now ... technology took my job as-it-were, I was advised to go into Personel aka Human Resources, but it was beyond my ken & I wasn't interested in it anyway
I'd like to think I was a good 'Girl Friday' ... it'd be discriminatory to place an advert like that in the newspaper now
