My friends … think me a bit odd to be enjoying homework at my age. My mother was delighted and is very encouraging. My sister I suspect thinks I should be earning a proper income by now. I have been told … that I am too old to benefit financially from an education, so I should stop fluffing about and get a real job. This person obviously misses the point.
