3. You can do it, you just need to work out how to.
Carl is a great example of how students can overcome personal difficulties with a good support network. Carl’s health impacted on his school attendance and development at school, but he was still able to achieve his academic goals with the help of home tutors. He has spent a lot of his time since then giving back to the community through volunteering.
