High School Graduation: New South Wales

Accessible Places Dept: In fact, my first undergraduate year very nearly cast me into an academic black hole from which I might never have emerged had it not been for a series of very marginal pass marks, according to Vancouver Sun. Safe to say it was not until the halfway point in my graduate degree that the proverbial penny finally dropped and I discovered an enthusiasm for learning, thanks to a couple of gifted teachers/professors, which was to be a lifelong source of deep satisfaction to the present day and if my first year at Sydney University clearly demonstrated one thing, it was that I was totally unprepared for the transition from high school to the halls of higher learning. Not that my high school graduation was any great shakes either, but in the '60s in New South Wales where I grew up, universities were seen as accessible places where one might become a student given time and opportunity.
