I enrolled on a distance learning course, mainly because I felt that I'd wasted my education. I
left school having passed only two of my GCSEs. Despite that poor performance, I managed to
pass the exams and get a place in an agricultural college. However, I dropped out after the first
term because I had not been doing any work. After that, working in a factory seemed, at first,
to be a good option. I had my own money and some good friends. I was happy, or so I thought.
But this idea kept nagging at me that I could do better. I would spend my evenings reading and
one day I just thought I need to get qualified. Studying at home was perfect because I did not
need to give up my job. It was hard work being a student and holding down a full-time job, but
it got me where I wanted to go - to university. Finally, I gained my degree almost exactly twenty
years after I'd first left school. A little late, but never mind!
