At School

I used to sit at the top of the stairs night after night listening to the terrible rows between my parents and I would regulary cry myself to sleep.

During my school days I was constantly in trouble, I was in a fight nearly everyday and started to get a bad reputation. I was one of the smallest kids in my class but I made up for that with my temper and violence. I was expelled from 2 schools and eventually left with poor GCSE results. My dad had his own roofing company and I went straight to work for him, My Dad was a very hard worker and I actually enjoyed working for him until his health started to get really bad. He had a serious heart problem due to his old lifestyle of drinking, smoking and fatty foods. He had several heart attacks and other problems with his lungs etc. I lived in fear that he would die, although my Dad was a very hard man I adored him, he was my hero and role model even though I can see now a very bad one.
