My love of History
As a youngster, I’ve always had an interest in history, obtaining an A grade in my Irish Intermediate Certificate (now called the Junior Certificate and roughly equivalent to British GCSEs), my study for the exam being to sit down and read both my Irish history books from start to finish, and was bitterly disappointed that I was unable to study the subject for my Leaving Certificate (again roughly equivalent to Britain’s A-Levels) due to subject choices (I wanted to study Physics as an aid to doing a degree in computers and the choice was one of Physics, History or Business Organisation).
