Emilie: So I'm really excited to graduate this year and my little boy Ronnie will be attending. 

(Emilie sat inside the Brotherton Library talking to camera)

Emilie: Ronnie is 4 years old and he was born 2 days into the first Covid lockdown. When I fell pregnant, I realised that the job I was in wasn't really what I wanted to do. So I explored my options and had a look at universities and decided I wanted to be a social worker. 

So I went for social work because of a mixture of things, mainly life experiences and wanting to make a difference and wanting people like me to have the support that maybe wasn't there for me when I tried to progress in my career and life. 

(Emilie walking hand in hand with Ronnie into the Brotherton Library, sat upon the Parkinson Building steps, sat talking to camera in the Brotherton Library, and walking through campus)

Emilie: I used the last £25 in my bank to pay for my UCAS application. The scholarship has made such a difference. Little things such as being able to buy books or having an unexpected bill and it not having a snowballing effect on everything else it's just made life so much easier. 

I'm also in the Plus Programme which has things for estranged and care experienced students. The Financial Assistance Fund supported me when one of my family members had become ill and I had to take over caring responsibilities. 

I would never have been able to stay at university without the support. I can't believe I’ve finally got here and I've done it.  

(Ronnie runs around a flower bed outside the Great Hall)

Emilie: Ronnie is starting school this September just as Mummy’s finishing school. He  won't let me call it university, it's Mummy's school.

Emilie: I just started my new job in adult social care. I'm wanting to complete my Advanced Mental Health Practitioner training so I'll be able to progress in my career and open up more doors and opportunities. 

(Emilie talking to camera in the Brotherton Library)

Emilie: I think this affects Ronnie's life just as much as mine just because I've got the time and the energy to play with him and go out and do things with him and I've got the funds to do that as well. He's got a cooler Mum now I guess.  

(Emilie and Ronnie walk through the wavy bacon statue artwork on campus, before posing for pictures on the steps)

Emilie: 16-year-old Emilie would not have expected 25-year-old Emilie to be here. I've got opportunities to look forward to in the future such as buying a house and going on holiday with my little boy. Without the donors and the scholarship I wouldn't be able to achieve the things I've achieved or the opportunities I've had.

(Emilie sat inside the Brotherton Library talking to camera)

Emilie: If I could speak to a donor now I'd say thank you for all the support they've given me and I'd love to go and have a cup of tea with them and Ronnie and let them see how much they helped us develop and grow. 

Emilie and Ronnie: Thank you.
