My life has changed so often because of so many different people and events.
My brother encouraged me to emigrate.
My sister encouraged me to study. These were both very spur of the moment decisions.
An english teacher called Peter who believed in me and made me believe.
A lecturer at uni who didn’t let me off with “am I too old to do this?” or “is there any point me doing this?”.
My father used to call me a butterfly and this I suppose has driven me to learn to complete tasks, including my PhD. In the back of my mind was, “I must finish this for my dad”.
My children changed my life and the decisions I have made.
I think life is a journey and along the way many opportunities are presented along with a whole host of obstacles. We decide which ones will either stop us, encourage us to carry on or lead us to take a detour. It is a fascinating journey is it not?
