By the time I was studying travel and tourism at college, I already knew I wanted to become a travel agent. I was completely set on it. But looking back now, there was a point where I thought it might never happen.
I grew up in Turkey and returned to the UK when I was 15 going on 16. At the time, English wasn't my first language and I didn't have any UK qualifications. School after school turned me away; some even said they were worried I would affect their results.
Eventually, I met a woman called Kathryn Seaward at Hull College. She changed everything for me.
