Uni can feel like a long way off, until it suddenly isn’t. One day we're desperately trying to help Anthony pass his Maths and English GCSE's so he can get onto a Level 3 course at college and the next we're thinking how to help him get the most out of his education while he is still in it.
Usually I take most things as they come and try not to plan too far ahead but at 16 or 17 years old suddenly what you do now could have an impact on what you might be able to do next.
