At the age of fifteen months I was struck down by cerebral palsy. This left me partially paralysed down my left side. I have no use of my left arm and I walk with a limp. This has not deprived me of anything in life because I have achieved a great deal.
Firstly I attended a special school, getting nowhere, then going to a private school where I achieved my O’Levels and became independent, doing things for myself. Afterwards, I went to a local college where I got my A ‘Levels. I learned to drive which increased my independence tremendously.
Getting married and moving away to live in Germany for three years meant I had to adapt to a new life style but circumstances caused me to move back to England where I gave birth to my son. My husband joined us and we bought a restaurant in Worcester. After three months of getting the restaurant, he walked out of our lives. For him, it was just a marriage of convenience.
After a great struggle, I decided to sell the restaurant and moved back to Birmingham. My son went to the local school while I went back to college and completed a degree in Media Studies at Birmingham University.
At present, I am working with South and City College Birmingham as a Learning Resources Facilitator.vizualizați mai puține
