The Story
For Gráinne Casey, her graduation at Aberdeen wasn't just a ceremony.

After Gráinne got her degree in Sociology and Women's Studies, she stayed in Aberdeen for a year, working as a youth worker and studying for a postgraduate Diploma at Dundee. She moved to Surrey in England two years ago and is still a youth worker. Although she misses Aberdeen she is enjoying her life in Surrey. She told us that she was delighted and surprised at some of the feedback she had received after the story was broadcast on Days Like This.
