Well Willow, the things that I would change would come into the category of selfish....but they involve how other people conduct their lives....and it isn't possible is it? I left school without any qualifications........and there weren't the same opportunities then to further yourself if you went to what was then called a 'Secondary Modern' School.....no opportunities to do GCE's......you were essentially 'factory fodder'.
I did however, get my chance to do Nurse Training and I was determined to be the best I could be. I also went on to do an Adult Teaching course...which I loved. I really wanted to go back and see some of the teachers who thought they were teaching no hopers....just to let them see I had made something of myself. I made my niche......and I still have people coming up to me and saying 'Sister P....how are you doing?'
I'm doing fine!
