As written by our client ...
"I volunteer at The Folk of Gloucester most Saturdays and have starred in a play for them.
I'm beginning to realise I need to learn to drive, which I feel like in movies usually excites a teenager, imagining their newfound independence.
I did English Lit at Cardiff Uni. Got a masters cus Covid happened so I decided to stay on a year. Trying to read poetry more often. I should read more in general. I've never much liked reading and here I am with an English Masters, how the heck did that happen? Maybe you can help me figure that one out."
