She became a mother at 15 and ended up homeless. Five rackety years followed - barely coping, drinking to escape - until Katriona, now living in her father's native Dublin, hit rock bottom. \u003ci\u003ePoor \u003c\/i\u003eis the extraordinary story - moving, funny, brave, and sometimes startling - of how Katriona turned her life around. During her schooldays there had been teachers who looked out for her - beacons of stability in a chaotic childhood. They planted seeds of self-belief. In Dublin when she sought help, she found mentors whose encouragement revived that self-belief. She got her act together, got a flat and a job as a cleaner, and got into Trinity College. Today Dr Katriona O'Sullivan is an award-winning lecturer whose work explores barriers to education. Despite her professional success, and happiness in her marriage and as a loving mother, Katriona lives with the indelible legacy of her early years. Her book is a stirring argument for the importance of looking out for our kids, of giving them hope, practical support and meaningful opportunities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katriona Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandycove\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844886210\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is only available via back order\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandycove","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41114975928435,"sku":"9.78184E+12","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8fc30414-5086-40e8-9617-635035db2656.jpg?v=1700661601","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/poor-grit-courage-and-the-life-changing-value-of-self-belief-9781844886210","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
