  I was very cheeky and very determined. …I did a lot of work in my spare time, including learning Latin secretly! Our headteacher Forbade the Latin teacher to teach us Latin, so we had a secret after school Latin class and ducked down if the head walked past so she thought the classroom was empty.
  
  I ended up doing further maths accidentally. My best friend was in the class and when I was free I joined him for a couple of lessons so we could chat and I could get a bit ahead with the maths work. The teacher just decided to put me in for the exams and then he left the school, leaving me hurrying to pick up the classes I hadn’t attended and learn the material in time!
