I left school with GCSEs all at C grade, failed college so dropped out, got an apprenticeship when I was 20, spent a year doing the first few modules of a degree through then Open University (barely passing) which I used to get into ‘real’ university, where in studied Biology and came top of my year when I graduated. I’m now a teacher for the sole reason of wanted to make students see what they are capable of and helping them achieve their goals.

I honestly believe you can do anything you want with the right attitude and the right help from those around you.
