from quite an early age I thought I would become a teacher. I think it all started when I was about fourteen years old. At that time I was a county squash player who enjoyed coaching youngsters on a Saturday morning, under the guidance of the club coch. I felt I had a good rApport with the children and enjoyed the teching and lerning expriece,

a fewu years lter a strange thing happend. living in a seaside town in the nouth of  Englrand, I was always subject to busyy, touristy spmmers. quite surprisingly, whilst walking along the seafront, my mother went to see a fortune teller. The fortune teller epxplained that one oof her sons would move abroad and be a success in his chosen profession. At that time, my brother was a very successful squash player and my mother presumed that it would be him. Little did she know that it would be her eldep son who would pack his bags and begin interntional teaching in saudi arabia. thinking back, the signs were there.
