I had a very good upbringing and childhood really. I never went without, i had great friends, a fantastic childhood sweetheart girlfriend and my key characteristic was my academic success. I flew through primary school with ease, always top of the class.As highschool approached i was bribed with a new bike to sit the entrance exam to a private school. Adament i would not leave my friends I was not only offered a place, but a full scholarship. I could not refuse a gift of £35000 worth of education so i went.Still i continued to excel, but not through hard work. I was one of the lads dossing around. I was resented for my ability to not revise and still succeed. But i did not enjoy the work, my work was always late and i lost enthusiasm over time.I did very well in my GCSEs despite a total lack of revision. By college i'd had enough, my attendance was appauling but my results stopped me from being expelled. I hated it there. I achieved top marks at AS but didn't do well at A level, missing 4 or 5 exams altogether.My family saw Uni as a done deal, it was never discussed, and they were education education education all the way. I looked in to it, knew i'd do well, but it just wasn't for me. I couldn't face it so stood my ground. I was practically disowned with disappointment, i was told of how i'd need to work etc, and my considerable allowance was stopped.A friend and I began importing clothes from China, working through ebay. We wanted to expand so when the opportunity to travel to Thailand came up it was a perfect opportunity to source new products. While away my business partnership with my friend hit an all time low and we decided to work seperately.I made some great contacts and began importing wholesale jewellery. I still do this and i'm currently setting up a website design agency with a twist.
