I believe education is a life- long process, and anything ‘learned’ in life has value. I also feel my education truly began as an adult, and that it is not all about what someone does on paper, but what they learn from the information and more importantly how it is applied. It has to be the right education, adapted to suit the needs of the child or adults learning style. *I am being a little vague because this is an area that I would like to preserve privacy over, not for myself but for the clients I have had and those I am currently working with. Working as an independent professional supporting families. I went on from there to develop in other areas, taking more courses, which has lead me to the profession I am in today. From this, my roles began to become more specialized. I became a registered midwife at 33, and working in a high birth rate area. This along with some ‘key subject’ exams allowed me to study midwifery. I returned to education at thirty having passed some exams and eventually a university entrance exam called the DC test. I just stopped attending and left about two months before my sixteenth birthday.

So, when the pressure to produce pieces of work with more elaborate language and analysis was apparent, I opted out of school. I remember struggling to read as a child, and used to feel adrenaline rushes when it came to reading out loud in class, silently pleading for her not to pick me.Īlthough I developed my own coping strategies as the years went by, my strategies only took me so far.

I tended to be top streamed for most subjects, but regarded as somewhat lazy when it came to producing written work.
