I have a B Sc Hons in Maths from Manchester University. I graduated in 1963.
I came from a very poor background but my mother knew a good education would set me on a path to better things. She worked like a seaside donkey and cut down on her food to pay for my Grammar School Uniform. I won a scholarship which paid for my university education.
She was right I have had a great life been places, done things and got the tee-shirts.
I have the time to help a young person of today to get a foot on the ladder and get the keys to open doors only an education can do.
The most important lesson in life is when the going gets tough you have to keep going. There is always a chance of something good at the end of the journey. Giving up gets you nowhere.
