1. What big life events have happened for you? - Both good and bad (births/marriages/deaths etc).
My grandad and two uncles died.
My sister got married <3
My uncle had two kids

My dad had a cardiac arrest (survived) which uncovered a genetic heart disorder that it turns out nearly everyone in my family has and took my uncle, Brugada syndrome. Also a nerve disorder I've had since birth has been progressively kicking my ass...

2. What big achievements have you accomplished? - Relating to education/work/family/personal to you.
I was pissing around in retail for a while, then I went to university and took Primary Education, now I work in a behaviour unit
Recently had a children's book published.

3. Has life turned out how you'd thought it would do from 2010?
Sort of. Working in education was always a "some day" thing, but I never really thought about when or how.

4. Anything you would/could go back and change or do differently, wish you had/hadn't done?
Sounds awful but not break up with my ex when I did, because he got a car shortly after and would have driven me to uni and placements xD

5. If you could go back, what advice would you give yourself regarding the future?
Tell uncle to take the Ajmaline challenge (not as fun as it sounds!) so Brugada would be uncovered sooner, and we'd have less heartache in the family.

6. Your hopes/aspirations/goals for the next decade?
Nothing much, my conditions will eventually make it impossible to carry on working in my chosen field, and I've been off sick recently due to a nasty turn in them (internal tumour) but I'll be back after the Christmas break, and gonna keep on working for as long as I can! I'm only in my twenties so it'd suck if the line was cut before the end of the next decade at least...
Oh, and maybe become a famous children's author haha
