Clara Bergeron Dear Advice giver:

Thank you so much for your advice letter, peppered with intelligence and good sense. It was very much appreciated. I am now in Scotland preparing a PGCE, a teaching degree, which will allow me to teach in the UK and it seems Japan, Italy, Spain... too! Hopefully one day I could go to the US too! Anyway, thank you again ...See MoreDear Advice giver:
