| Signing the Honorary Degree Book |
I feel very blessed, honoured and privileged to have been part of this occasion and given recognition. Myself and my family where made to feel very welcome by everyone and we had a fantastic day. Marjon did such a fantastic job and a massive thank you goes to Emma Renyard and Stan Cinnamond for making my day complete. I have never felt so nervous in my life than having to stand and collect my degree and bare my soul to the congregation and give a speech!!! This was probably because my speech was from the heart and this was my chance to thank the ones that have been there for me through the thick and thin and supported me every step of the way and I really don't think I can ever thank them enough and that's my Parents of course ......I struggled to hold back the emotions as I bared my soul to the room but I managed to talk about all the tough times myself and my family have been through and just how much they mean too me. I love my mum and dad so very much and I don't know what I would do without them.

| Mia with Magnus Scheving aka Sportacus |
The same day as I got awarded an Honorary degree so did Magnus Scheving aka Sportacus from Lazy Town, of course I know who he is as I have Mia so get to watch these type of programs. I do have to say what a lovely man he was, he made Mia's day. I said hello and introduced Mia to him and he walked straight over to her picked her up gave her a kiss and a cuddle and chatted about Lazy Town. They sang the song together and he took her hand moved into some space and said 'you know Stephanie, I do a dance with her can I pretend you are Stephanie and do it with you' so they did. It was so sweet and made Mia's day, he personally signed a card for her too!! I really respect people like that who take time to make people feel welcome. We did have to explain to Mia that he was a bit like Superman and wouldn't have his suit on as he wasn't in Lazy Town bless her aye the things we do for kids
It really was an amazing day more than I could have imagined and having my family there too was even better. So thank you to everyone who was part of this day I raise a toast to you all xxxx
