I’m a part time college student, learner driver and carer all rolled into one. I’m also a former administration assistant for a non profit organisation and am now considering starting my own business after finishing a BTEC National Diploma in IT Engineering.

I’m definitely into Japanese popular culture. It’s just so much more fun and has much more depth and it’s just a lot more fun than what we have. Plus it’s constantly changing and it just has more quality than our own chav infested hell hole. In Japan you have pop stars who write there own music with real meaning and depth and I can think of one whom is also a university student studying neurology! You certainly won’t find that here!

I haven’t had the easiest of upbringings as most of you know and my life hasn’t exactly been the easiest. From daily persecution to wild and false accusations and more, I’ve probably experienced it. I’m certainly no stranger to adversity.

I live with my mum in a town called Yate. My dad passed away when I was 15 and my mum has various disablities ranging from Asthma to Cerebral Palsy. And I do often get driven to drink too but tend to do that with friends on nights out. I don’t enjoy them much because my music tastes are very different from there and clubs don’t cater for me at all so I just end up sitting around chatting.

I’m beginning to develop a satirical approach to life but I’ve noticed that motivated, happy people tend to have something to work towards whereas I usually don’t... but that’s changing...
