 hi everyone i just want to do a really quick vlog because something's just arrived in the post and i want to do like a little live vlog for you about it so i'm wearing this the next couple of videos i will be wearing this because i've done a few vlogs today all in once just to get them out the way so i am changing my clothes i promise you it's just that i've done two vlogs on the same day but yes so i have oh god i need to um sorry for confidentiality i need to cover my dress up and also cover that address up but yes it's my certificate guys it's the uni certificate so i don't know if this is for every university but at Birmingham city university once you've had everything authorized and had your classification authorized that there's a little box that you have to tick and request your certificate make sure you do this guys if you're coming up because i had no clue when you're doing it on your phone that box doesn't come up and it doesn't tell you it was only by chance that i went on my laptop just to check everything over because that's what i do and i saw it i was like oh my god i need to apply for my certificate so yes you have to apply for your certificate i've just quickly just removed my address off because again confidentiality but i wanted to open this so here we go look it's never been opened before oh my god i can't get it open oh my god it's tough guys just give me my certificate i need a nice frame now for this right you ready is it just one certificate oh god come on right you ready you saw it before me guys oh it's so beautiful by the authority of the academic board of the university Claire Carmichael has been awarded bachelor of science with honours first class in adult in adult nursing ninth of january 2020 and then i've got oh you get here have a little breakdown of all of your grades now i don't know if this will help you or not but i'm going to show you my grades i'm not shy i'm not embarrassed with my grades so the lowest i got was 54 percent actually there was i can't remember which one it was oh it was that one so professional values and evidence-based practice which was my lowest grade which is 54 percent so that exam came in two parts for us we had to do a poster presentation with a group and then we had to do an assignment and that assignment was my worst ever grade i think i've got 45 percent which isn't on there but my lowest grade was 45 percent i've got a 54 percent i've got 55 percent and i've got another 55 percent so actually every year i've i've got a 50s mark in one of my assignments so just to show you that actually 50 marks are okay but i'm going to show you my marks so that you can see overall what i got if you can see that there so these are all my marks guys those are all my grades that i got and these are all the modules that we had at university my overall score was 69.5 i was on the cusp of getting a first and this is why i wasn't sure what grade i was going to get because because it was a 0.5 i didn't know if they were going to round up or round down and luckily they rounded up that little half a mark so i did get um first class come on guys so i was very very fortunate that i did get a couple of 75s up there and that just pulled the rest of my grades up to get a first so please if you're getting 60s if you're getting 50s don't worry about it guys if you really really want a first if that's your personal goal like me just if you get a few assignments or exams that are in the 70s plus hopefully that will bring your grades up as well have to apologize dogs are going to be in the background they like to steal the limelight what can i say so they are all of my grades and also i just wanted to say as well like it doesn't grades don't matter i have never been asked in any of my interviews what my classification has been i've never been asked on an application form and trust me i've filled out a lot of application forms compared to how many interviews i've got i've got so many knockbacks from interviews so please classification doesn't matter in the real life world what matters is that you're you're an amazing nurse and you put all of that knowledge into practice and become a fantastic nurse that is the main thing so if you're qualified if you're qualifying with a two one two two three whatever it doesn't matter as long as you've passed a degree that degree is tough i said this in my last video on my degree to classification this course is really really tough so for you to pass is absolutely amazing you should be proud of yourself but for me this first was as some of you know was just a massive achievement it was a personal goal of mine that i never thought i would get in in second just i never thought i would ever get it so for this to happen and for me to have it and frame it i'm gonna frame it i'm proud of this guys no job cares but i care i just wanted to say that classification it really doesn't matter so please don't beat yourself up don't feel down about it all of that jazz because it doesn't matter it really it's just a personal gain it's a personal goal of mine that's why i'm so chuffed with it but i just wanted to show you the opening of the certificate what it looks like it's beautiful look at that shimmer i'm gonna this is going in my will i this is how important this certificate is it's going in my will
