That at the age of 35, I have just passed my maths GCSE!!

In the last year while doing the course, I’ve worked full time, with two children, and been in the most awful abusive relationship that I left 3 weeks before my exams started.

I was never allowed to stay for the full evening class, my ex would drive by the college repeatedly to check I was there, and put me through all sorts of horrible shit.

I needed this to be able to go on to do an access to social work course, and I did it!!

My children don’t really understand so thought I’d share with you lot instead!

Excellent news, now please can you explain GCSE maths to me as I never got my head around half of it. So many years ago and I really wish I'd done better than a C Grade. Good for you! (Algebra 😱)
