I didn't know that existed until someone made, I didn't know where to find the information. I go, no, you don't have to worry about that.
Imagine leaving school at 16 or fleeing a war-torn country and still finding the courage to pursue your dreams. That's the heart of this episode of 'The Two Norries' with hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long. They sit down with Lisa and Adelina, two remarkable women from Kerry College, who share their incredible journeys through education. Lisa's story begins in London, where she left school at 16.
It could have been the end of her educational journey, but Lisa found her way back through further education college. Her perseverance paid off as she carved out a successful career in recruitment and mortgages. Her journey is a testament to the idea that it's never too late to turn things around. Adelina's path is equally inspiring. Originally from Kosovo, she fled the horrors of war and found refuge in Ireland.
Despite the challenges of navigating direct provision, Adelina pursued her passion for nursing. Her story is one of resilience, showing how determination can lead to personal and professional fulfillment even in the face of adversity. Throughout their conversation, Lisa and Adelina emphasize the importance of further education as a valuable and viable path to achieving one's goals. They remind us that every educational journey is unique, and success can come from many different routes.
Whether you're considering going back to school or simply need a dose of inspiration, this episode offers a powerful message about the strength of the human spirit.
