Ophelia's story
One of the things we hope to do at Sheroes is to help inspire each other. So with that in mind we want to highlight a story sent to us by Ophelia.
Ophelia is 43 and in lives in the Midlands. She left school with no formal qualifications and could not read or write fluently. Over the course of the next few decades Ophelia was able to master the art of disguising her shortcomings.
Following the death of her father, Ophelia found the courage and determination to face her gremlins. She attended local classes where she was able to improve her literacy and numeracy and learn new IT skills. She received local awards in recognition of her achievements. This gave her the confidence to put pen to paper and write a short story for the first time. Ophelia has sent Sheroes one of her stories to share with you.
