Learning Line


My learning line first started at infant school this was my first experience at interacting with kids my own age learning to read and write. The first time I noticed I had a stammer was a few years into my infant school life I was reading out loud and I could not get my words out. I then started to go speech therapy I thought I was the only person who had one until I meet kids my age and older who had a stammer to this made me feel a lot better as I was not the only one.


The next chapter in my life was moving from infant school to primary school this was not as scary as I first thought as my infant school and primary school were next to each other so I stayed with all my friends. Here was the first place I learned to swim I was really good and progressed faster then all my friends.


Secondary school was a really scary experience as not a lot of my friends went to the same secondary school as me. I made some really good friends most of theses are my best mates who I still see too this day. I got my first part time job when I was in secondary school paper round I kept this job for a year then gave it up and this was the same time I started going off the rails. I got in with the wrong crowd and this was the main reason why I come out of secondary school with poor grades. Nearer the end of my secondary school life I got another part time job in a butcher.


Then come college as my grades were poor I had to do a whole year making my grades up to get into the course I wanted to do this was a four year course. As soon as I started college I got another part time job in Somerfield this one I still have to this day. I passed college and this made me think to further me education even more by going to university.
