School Daze with Ester Murray: 'I want children to stay as open as possible'

I am the middle child of eight children; there were six of us to begin with and then my parents fostered a boy and a girl who became my half-brother and sister. I always joke that my parents called every single one of my sister’s names before they called mine!

As a middle child, I think you both pine for attention and are able to amuse yourself, it’s a good thing to learn at a young age. We had an excellent upbringing and my parents were wonderful. My entire extended family is involved with the caring of others, whether it be through charity or otherwise, and that was definitely something that was bred into us. It is important to be kind and to be aware of others, always.
