I was born on June 20th 1984 at Aldershot, near London. My Dad was in the army so we were soon posted to Germany where my brother, Daniel, was born. We moved back and forth from Germany to England, until I left home just before my 18th birthday. It was hard for my mum to have a career because we were always moving, so she had lots of different jobs, all of which she was very good at. My childhood was fun and happy and my parents did their best to make sure my brother and I were well provided for. I have always been close to my Auntie Rose and Uncle Mark, who I had a lot of fun with when I was younger. When I was about 8 years old, on 23rd September (my parents' wedding anniversary) my Dad had a brain haemorrhage. He was on a life support machine for a week and only had a 4% chance of survival. Amazingly he pulled through and was allowed home at the beginning of December. My Mum has been in and out of hospital with back problems. She has had 3 operations, but has only just started to get over her back problems with the help of a hormone tablet. If they had given her this in the first place it would have saved a lot of pain and worry! Despite having these problems she is a typical Super Mum, always has been and always will be! When I was 12 we moved to Woodbridge and I started hanging around with people quite a bit older than me. My parents thought I was getting in with "the wrong crowd" and I was bullied quite badly at school. Because of these circumstances I was advised to leave the school and was sent to boarding school! I had been threatened with it, but never thought they would really send me. Anyway, I hated it. It was the start of year nine, the school was massive and it was the first school I had been to that wasn't an army school, so it wasn't full of army kids like me. It was called Wymondham College and I spent just under 3 years there, getting into more and more trouble as I got older. I just couldn't live by rules and I hated being told what to do. Most of the teachers liked me, but I felt that one person really had it in for me and just seemed to hassle me the whole time I was there.
