Receiving the life time learning award was a great honour for me. To have a plaque I could display in my office with the saying "life of learning award" was such a gift I was so proud to display. It was amazing to be given an award to celebrate me and my achievements,… After reading the letters written for my nomination package I never doubted myself again. It gave me pride and self appreciation that to this day stays with me.
