My school reports always contained somewhere “ if Robert gave as much energy and commitment to his studies as he does to rugby and cricket, all would be well”!!!!!
Anyway if it interested me - fine, otherwise, no! 10 years after leaving school, I got a scholarship from the bank to Limerick university and came out with first place in the year and then qualified as a chartered secretary! It was the passport to promotion and I finally retired as head of credit for the east of Ireland!
It goes to show that a) good teachers who interest the students are gold dust and b) A levels or Leaving cert results are not the only way to get ahead.
Cheers all!!
Here’s to an end to Covid!
