Uniquely British sights

Meet Our Student Bloggers

Married with two young children and working in the family chiropractic office as a massage therapist, Melinda Hallam realized she still had more than 30 years of work ahead of her, and she wanted to do something she was passionate about. So she put her fears aside and enrolled at Sherman College. When she graduates, she’ll join her father and uncle as a doctor of chiropractic.

Growing up in the chiropractic lifestyle, Ryan Burkhart was inspired by science and health as a sophomore in high school and decided then that he would follow his father’s footsteps and enroll at Sherman. “I saw Sherman as the place to think of both the why and the how of chiropractic,” he explains.

Uniquely British sights

I always loved the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Phil and I were walking to the pub when we came across this sweetshop that made me stop dead in my tracks. I felt like I was in the movie - now I just need a Wonka bar and a golden ticket!

Walking around the city it is easy to forget which way to look before crossing the street. It has been so ingrained in us to look right for cars, but since they drive on the opposite side one should look left. Thankfully there are reminders on the street.

In the subway you are reminded to watch out for space between the tube and the platform with the note Mind The Gap!

Afternoon tea of scones and clotted cream is a tasty tradition. I am not sure how clotted cream is made, but it tastes like a mix between butter and whip cream.

These are just a few sights that are uniquely British!
