i've always wanted to do this more than anything. i'd never taken any lessons because i was always been under the impression that it was only a career open to wealthy people, or at least, that you or your family had to be homeowners. i'd also read that a lot of sposorship schemes didn't stay open for that long. perhaps i was little paranoid to think that the opportunity to apply wouldn't be around that long. i'm certain about my commitment, like i say, i've always wanted this. as this is my only way of meeting my ambition, there was little point in having lessons as they would've been a waste of time had i not passed phase 2.
