in 2004, I came to Edinburgh to study for a master degree at Heriot watt university. I liked the course team support more than anything else, halfway through I thought seriously about leaving having loads of responsibility with my six years old son and husband who both spoke no English.
I disliked the course loads, but eventually, we graduated and that was real happiness, the hard work paid off.
I cherished the time I had at the chaplaincy as a safe space to meditate and read.
They used to host a free dinner every Wednesday where we cooked, and had a lot of fun including singing and dancing.
