The founder of Beyond 12 was offered a place at a prestigious college as a straight-A student. Although she managed to graduate, she found the years spent there extremely demanding. She was among people from very different backgrounds to her own, so she struggled to fit in. Living on the breadline, she could not afford to pay for a life coach, so only her will to succeed allowed her to continue.
