I DID. YOU CAN.
People from a wide range of backgrounds, jobs, interests and geographical locations share their stories. How did they get to where they are ? Are they living the life they imagined when they were 14 years old ? What advice would they offer a young person setting off on the journey of life ? Phil Crompton - author of " In Search of My Alumni" and a former school leader - finds out how they did it and how others can do something similar. There will be something for everyone in this series. We all need role models. Here are plenty.
I DID. YOU CAN.
Alex Bulman : Senior Design Strategist in Houston, Texas
Alex was a student at the very first school that I led in Nottingham. He was 14 when I turned up. I'm embarrassed to say that he didn't find his education very engaging. However, I was delighted to find out that he was living a great life in the USA and was more than happy to talk about his journey from the English Midlands to Texas.
We had to cancel out first appointment because Alex had forgotten that it was Thanksgiving. Pleased that he was able to re-schedule. Quite a story about a young man who always had an interest in design has made a career of it.
