Was a failure…now a gainer?
Further education gave me the motivation
To step outside my comfort zone and into realisation.
I had to grow up and face the actualisation
That I am a role model to these two beautiful creations.
Through accepting the things I couldn’t change
I overcame adversity and put all negativity in the back of my distance memory.
You see the truth is you’re in charge of your own destiny
And that’s something I had to realise before I saw the best in me!
Who would have thought it?
Shakira Martin President of the Student Union, Teacher Trainer and Campaigner
This wasn’t my life…..
I was a failure!
What’s funny now is I am a gainer
A gainer of knowledge, experience and skills
Which I have used to build a solid foundation
To be able to say no
To all forms of discrimination!
Equality for all is my mission
But this boring party politics will not change my decision
To fight for free education and equal representation
In a movement where will have the opportunity to
Inspire, empower and motivate
The next generation.
So a vote as your VPFE
Is a much for you as for me
As my vision is to share what I have learnt throughout my journey.
To step outside my comfort zone and into realisation.
