It’s a common thread, but I left school at 16 years old after completing Year 10 in Australia and the year was 1978 (yes that’s right I’m 53 years of age).
My world was one where I couldn’t wait to get into the workforce. My parents were average working class people that had five children under their roof and the idea of further education wasn’t really something that I had on my radar. Rather my idea of a career was to get into making some money through whatever was available and stand on my own two feet asap – simple plan but at the the time made good sense for the then and now.

If I had my time again, would I do it any differently ?? I know its an age old question !! Well the answer is yes maybe I would. Would it make me a different person ? Possibly.
Would I have done any better – who knows ! Hindsight is a great thing, if only to benefit future decisions and not the past.

Yesterday, my daughter graduated from University with a double degree in Law & International Relations, she also celebrated her 21st Birthday one month ago. I have watched her determination under immense pressure over the years of study, her trials and tribulations, the tears, the arguments, the commitment shown when being pushed to the limit to meet a deadline. At times the necessary support, understanding and love was always available by our small family ( I decided long ago that five children wasn’t for me – two works well ) It was a family commitment.

The point being that I’m humbled and yes very proud of what she and her brother have achieved at their young age. I doubt I had the level of commitment and courage to set such a goal at that age.

Sadly, for many reasons, there are some very lost and misguided young people in our societies. But, yesterday I had the privilege to witness so many wonderful, ambitious and intelligent young people go forward into the world and show that the world is still an amazing place. Truly inspirational.
