Success is a journey not a destination

About Me

I'm a 22 year old student who originates from the land of Cumbria, the home of beautiful scenery and at the moment high unemployment, therefore like many others I have migrated south in search of a career. I passed my degree at York St John University, amazingly I did quite well so I am now doing a masters which means I am in my 6th year of optional education!Those who knew me as secondary school will be shocked as I disliked school which resulted in a lot of time spent in the withdrawal unit, fond memories.The relocation to York has chilled me out completely, what a place! In general I am just trying to make the most out of the opportunities that I have in life. Remember people, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent! Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com/p

Books:

Seabiscuit, Birdsong, any thing by Melvyn Bragg. I have just read Gazza's autobiography, a quality read, lets you understand the person behing the brash image the media portray.

Heroes:

Wayne Rooney, puts 100% effort into every game unlike some of these millionaire footballers. My parents, they both started with nothing on council estates and have been succesful through hard work.William Wilberforce, the Suffragetes, soldiers who fought in WW1 and WW2 and any other person who has campaigned for freedom and reform. I admire people in contemporary British society who appreciate how lucky we are to live in a democracy, in contrast to the many people in Britain who are condemned by freedom.
