I come from a culture in Australia and England that does not see university education as important or worth it, or as the same as working. no matter what job you have it is seen as more important then study. students are seen as lay abouts, bludgers and wasters. it is hard work trying to do a double degree with income less then $250.00 a fortnight which is what I started out with. you can’t buy pretty clothes and you barely afford your books and fairs. I could not afford to live on campus in a dorm coming from a poor family.

I would work non-stop at books but it still was not enough for her majesty to see if to allow me to have a nice young boyfriend in those years, no she wanted them for herself. I took the dirt grim pickins’ for her pleasures. then I was kicked up the b** (which I was told I deserved-not sure why?) and had to go working cleaning- working hard all day and still no man on a white charger! then my family bought a burnt out dead beat business that I helped out with in between a nervous breakdown (that was ignored so my sister could take the limelight once again), and looking after her son. I found myself confused living like a single mother with no comfort what so ever , no friends etc

after that I studied and worked at different times and still no prince charming to take the debutante out in a horse and carriage, meanwhile my sister la-de-da-ded it up with plently. now how unfortunate is it for me to be the only little piglet in the pen with out a wedding ring ?

education is not appreciated here or is it just for the sake of one rulers ego? anyway, that still does not attempt to help my ambitions much. I am a bit like that songful Maria, and mother Theresa in me keeps coming out, forced out. so I am crap am I?
