I was faced with a horrible childhood, a bad school and was basically deemed a failure before I even sat an exam.
In the face of this adversity, I succeeded in woodwork where better mortals have failed.
I have never used my qualification-the end of the day it is hardly a degree in nuclear science is it? But it is my CSE Grade 4, and nobody can ever take that away from me.
For not eating animals, for achieving my degrees in the face of some serious opposition from family, for giving up weed, for getting my IOSHH, for teaching myself Unix and DOS, for building this computer, for not panicking back in 2005, for working for the same company for over 21 years and still loving the work....
i was really proud of for self funding myself to complete my study in ireland and uk (fees for overseas students are incredible high), but i still havnt got chance to use my qualifications to get a proper job yet, so dont feel that proud now:((((
