What I wanted to be never happened as I was dislexic and couldnt get the education I needed to follow my dream .
I wanted to be a game ranger and work with animals , as a kid I was often in game parks helping the rangers and learning from them but couldnt get a job because I needed qualifications I just could not get .
I ended up going for my second chef and managed to get a pass on exams needed to become a chef and worked as a chef for several years but got disenchanted with the work conditions , hours etc and packed it in .
I in the end found a job I could do and enjoyed for many years as a lorry driver removal man , sadly in my 40s back injury then heart problems put an end to my working career.Now disabled and having to relly on benefits which I hate .I wish they could replace hearts and backs so I could go back to work .
