“I applied to College and joined through Open Enrolment which meant I started slightly later than the other students. I was very against doing my Maths when I started for this reason, but my teachers encouraged me.
“I’m continuing I.T at the College now and it’s just such a relief to not worry about Maths ever again and focus on my future.”
