Contentment, achievement,
self-fulfilment: the journey of a lifetime with Monica Burton Throughout my life I have always had a passion for learning, a need to be constantly occupying my mind and body, but little did I know that when I left Jamaica in 1953, my adventure in the UK would fulfil my life in ways I never dreamed. Aged 18,1 arrived in Middlesex to start my nursing degree, specialising in cancer and radiotherapy. After leaving nursing in the late 1960s, I started attending yoga classes. Then, my greatest adventure began. After completing the BWY Diploma and the City & Guilds, I become a Diploma Certified Trainer in 1984. After consistently achieving A+ awards, in 1988, the BWY asked me to join as a Diploma Course Tutor (DCT). My first diploma course in 1988 saw the registration of the first blind student, Michelle. The BWY were concerned about the logistical challenges. I remember saying, 'I cannot say no to this student because she is blind just as much as the BWY could not refuse me for being non-white'. Michelle was a wonderful inspiration to us all. View and order copies of Spectrum magazines here Download and continue reading the full feature article here |
