“I only started sitting exams in BSL three years ago even though I have been using it all my life, but I needed to have the qualifications in order to help others with their studies.  I enjoy studying as it really helps to boost my confidence.  It doesn’t matter that I am deaf - if anything I think maybe I can inspire other deaf learners to come into education.”
