Sophie's Bio

Name: Sophie Helena Ruth Gauntlett
Date of Birth: 8th October 1993
Place of Birth: Surrey
Current location: Ross-on-Wye
Current occupation: Care Assistant, Brockhampton Court Nursing Home

I currently live with my parents, little sister and much loved puppy dog Milly, in Ross-on-wye, who are extremely supportive of my choices and are always there for me. Over the last few years I have been searching for what I want to do in the future. I have gone from Primary school teaching to Sociology and now to where I truly believe my heart lies which is in Midwifery. Even though I have tried to fight this as it runs in generations of my family to work as a nurse I could not fight the fact anymore that this was what I truly wanted to do. So here I finally am starting the journey to my future in Midwifery, which I am sure my mother is very relieved to hear after many open days to numerous universities for all sorts of courses! After suffering from tonsillitis all through my last year at college finishing my A-levels  and after turning down my offers to do sociology I have decided to take a gap year. This seemed like a great opportunity to recuporate, get experience and take an adventure! So when me and Megan both decided to take a gap year we thought we'd seize the opportunity to start our adventure together!
