Me too. I left school with 0 qualifications and did an access course in my late 30s to enable me to go to university. I'll be 40 in 2 months and in my 1st year at university pursuing my passion. School just wasn't right for me as a teenager
I donβt have a single GCSE to my name and yet Iβm averaging a first at university with the work Iβve submitted so far. Itβs usually not ability thatβs the problem, itβs often a lack of support which materialises into lack of self belief. Imagine I was blocked from university?
