Family History at DKIT!!

Yes it is official, my family have made history at DKIT!! (Dundalk Institute of Technology) in Dundalk.

OK I better explain this!!

To start with my dad works in DKIT. He is a technician in Mechanical Engineering. He has been working in DKIT almost 30 years. Yes I know it is a really long time. As a child I always use to go up to his workshop, and look at all the filthy dirty machines. Or I would play games on his computer. As well going for walks around the college with my brothers. (This helped me when I started college as I knew where everything was)

Then there is my mam. She works in the Canteen. She has been working in the canteen for about 14 years now. She likes her job, as she interacts with the students and staff and finds out the latest gossip from everywhere. But just like every job, it has it's bad points. For example the transfer to the new canteen, that caused a bit of stir amongst staff. But that is a different story all together.

Next is my twin brothers. They started college at DKIT four years ago. One of my brothers is studying Music at DKIT. His class was the first class to start the course. But he did not graduate as he deferred his fourth year to do this year.

My other brother graduated this year. We were all proud of him. He studied Business and Office and Administration Systems and got his diploma. He is now back at DKIT getting his degree in Business and Management and Administration. So that makes four out five from my family attending DKIT. Weird I know!!

Then there is myself. I finished school this year and I did my Leaving Certificate in June. I got my results in August and I was over the moon when I was offered Public Relations in DKIT. It was my first choice, so of course I was going to accept the course. So now that makes five of us in DKIT. I don't think that there is another whole family in DKIT, where all members of the family are attending the one college, either working or studying!!!
