      Hi Taylor,

      I loved working in bars while I was there. Paricularly at an early age, making good money and having a great time feeling like I was out almost every night. Then, I got a little older and it all became too much. The late nights and unsociable hours weren’t good for my health. I was nearly 25 and wondering what I was going to do in the future. When the time comes to have a family, I didn’t fancy going to work at 5pm on a Saturday and getting home Sunday morning at 5am.

      I pursured career in PE teaching but quickly realised I loved learning and wanted to continue studying human behaviours related to health.
