Mother of four Anne ready to take on the world

TWO years ago, mother-of-four Anne Nagle decided she was going back to school after she could have “wallpapered her walls” with the number of rejections she got when she applied for a new job.

She had left school two weeks before her Inter Cert exams, and after working as a waitress for a while, decided she had nothing to lose by going back to school and trying again. Not even the people who laughed at her decision to go back to school at 39 could put her off.

“There were people who laughed at me and couldn’t understand why I wanted to go back when I had a husband, four children and a roof over my head. But I can shake that piece of paper at them now and tell them I have achieved it.
