How I Learned More From a Student's Question Than Any Book or Class
A Nostalgic Trip Last week I had the overwhelming honour, and honest pleasure of attending a lecture at my not-so-distant, beloved University of Sussex. However, I was no longer a student of the University. No, not at all — I had been invited as a guest, as a presenter, as a role model. On the way down to the University (approximately a 4-hour train journey from my current place of work), my brain was filled with excitement. Not only was I getting to return to a nostalgic environment – one where I truly grew from a boy to a man, but I was being given the opportunity to meet the new cohort of students who were currently studying on the course that I had just graduated from. The pleasure was furthered as I was attending this lecture alongside some fabulous role models of mine. David Hix (Supply Chain Director, UK&I), Matt Beddoe (Head of Procurement UK&I), Robin Sundaram (Head of Responsible Sourcing and Milk Buyer) and Ana-Maria Velicia (Head of Commercial Procurement). To say the least, I was excited, but perhaps a more accurate description, utterly terrified!

Bullying!
Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Behaviours used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets.

Stay In School, Kids!
This is a story I don't really like to share, but it's one I've wanted to share publicly for a while. I figure I'll never be a public speaker, so sharing my written story is my best shot at getting my story out there. First, let me just say that I am an intelligent individual. Not every person who chooses to drop out of school lacks intelligence. To be perfectly honest, I've come across people whom I had to wonder how they even graduated. Different people drop out of school for different reasons. Several of those people didn't care about school. They didn't care about getting an education. They didn't want to learn. That person was never me.

My Calling
Six or seven months ago I started tutoring in the public library of my city as a volunteer. The program seemed nice, and it was a great opportunity to do some community service. The people that work there were nice and they received me as part of their team with respect and kindness. I was embracing it, still, I wasn't sure of I why I was doing this until I got my first student. There in my first session as a tutor, I understood why I took on the challenge of tutoring.
