We sit on our backsides, do nothing all day and leach money from the government and our family. Not exactly. Many of us find it difficult to support ourselves financially, what with finding a place to live, and not having enough time to get a job. It's not easy supporting an active social life on top of a very active education on such a shoe string budget. It's a shame that NHS grants are being dropped, especially for those greater in need.
And it's only going to get worse. What with trebling the tuition fees and all that. Never mind, I don't suppose the posh ministers want just anyone going to do a degree. I suppose this is their idea of making education more elitist than it already is.
So I'm at med school. To afford this I expect you think that my parents are fat cat CEOs, or doctors, or politicians. Wrong. One parent is an engineer who has been made redundant. The other is a carer (who thanks to local government cuts) has also been made redundant.
Despite the best intentions of those in charge, I managed to get in with a state education and none of 'daddies mates' promising me the work experience to get in. You see, if you really want something in life, you can get it (even if you do have to overcome obstacles in your way)...
