Moving out of home: Ten lessons I have learnt in 10 years

Moving out of home for the first time is daunting as much as it is exciting. On this day, 10 years ago it was my first day at dental nurse school at Kings College, London. I was 19 years old and was experiencing living away from home for the first time, leaving my family back in Devon.

When I look back, my twenties have been a decade of transition in many areas and in a few months when I celebrate my 30th birthday, I will feel proud for having allowed myself the opportunity, however sad and often lonely it has been, to learn who I really am.

Moving out of home can be a scary time, particularly if you are moving away from your family and friends. I have spent much of my life moving around, both with my family and without them so I know exactly how difficult and nerve-wracking it can be.
