Please pass on my congratulations to your daughter, Xanthippe.
English Literature First Class Honours - that's fantastic!
I guess she's still letting it all sink in, but does she have plans for what she wants to do next? Career, or post-graduate study?
Whatever she decides, she's completed a great achievement and that deserves to be recognised. You must be very proud of her, too.
Well done Xanthippe daughter and justifiable pride and satisfaction to you!
Thanks guys. LUHE, she is going to start her masters in September.
she is going to start her masters in September - brilliant!
How old is your daughter, if you don't mind me asking?
Twenty-one.
Twenty-one - I think older students have a bit of an advantage over the 18 to 21 year olds straight from sixth form. They've lived a little, have developed a sense of perspective, have probably done more background reading, are possibly more likely to appreciate higher education, IMO.
So, for a 21 year old to achieve a first is excellent.
I wish her all the best with her studies and career.
