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!

OP you are bloody awesome 😊 that's fantastic!

I did a functional skills maths course (equivalent to GCSE C) about 10 year's ago after failing TWICE 😁 at school.

You rock ⭐️

Well done, @YoSofi!

A great achievement- such an amazing feeling to pass. I had to do the same before I trained to be a teacher as it was my Achilles heel too. I loathe maths and it was the one subject I actually had to revise for!

Hope you are all safe and happy now; and that this is a fresh start for you 💐 💜 ✨

GrouchyKiwi · 25/08/2022 09:24
