"I took your advice and applied to the University of Derby, aiming for the foundation year as we discussed. I received an email on Friday with an unconditional offer for the foundation year. If not for your help, I would have completely ruled out the option of university so I wanted to say thank you, talking to you really helped, and now I am where I wanted to be."
