25 years since I took the plunge to go to university… and it changed my life forever
Left school at 16, married at 18, had 3 children by the time I was 25
Higher Education was not for the likes of me
25 years since my son and I started at uni together – I was 37 he was 18 – I thrived, he skived
He dropped out – not me – I carried on… BA Hons, Masters then PhD … But….
Higher Education was not for the likes of me
25 years of marriage then fell apart since Higher Education had changed me…
Braver, brighter, stronger, no longer content to be a victim – but still…
Higher Education was not for the likes of me
25 years on and I’m still in Higher Education… now a Doctor, Senior Lecturer, Course Leader
Sole Bread-winner, house-owner, proud to be me – but still…
Higher Education is not for the likes of me
