  Yes, it was pretty tough. I think to get into any career that you really want to do you have to do a lot of hard work.
  
  I worked hard all through school and uni, and when I left uni I had to work hard to get enough money to do my masters degree.
  
  When I applied for the job I have now I had to have a couple of pretty tough interviews, and now even though I’ve got the job I still have to work really hard to stay in it! At the end of the first year we have to submit a 10,000 word report of everything we’ve done and give a presentation, and then the uni will decide whether or not we’re allowed to stay on or have to leave.
  
  Eeeek! Fingers crossed I’ll do alright!
