From Bottom of the Class to Businesswoman of the Year

At the age of sixty, Tessa Daley, Director of Newsgroup Publishing, has it all: she
______  so successful that she seems to be on TV or in papers every week, and she
___________  more money than most of us could dream of. But this is the woman who
___________  all her exams and ____________ school with no qualifications.

‘I hated school and couldn’t wait to get away and _________  work. I _______ a job at a
local newsagent’s. I loved working there because I could read all the magazines, but
unfortunately I was asked to leave two weeks later – for reading magazines and
forgetting to serve the customers!’

One of the customers was Simon, a good-looking journalist, who she ______ in love
with. They ________  engaged six weeks later after the first meeting, then
_______  married at the end of that year. Tessa devoted the next sixteen years of her
life to being a wife and bringing up her children. Simon _________  jobs a lot during
those years, and the family _____________  house several times. The disruption had a
disastrous effect on their marriage and they ___________  up when the oldest child was
fifteen.

‘After I ______   divorced there was a big gap in my life and I didn’t know what to do. My
daughter persuaded me __________  media studies.’ Tessa worked hard and
__________  her final exams with the best grades in her year. ‘The day I _______  my
degree was the proudest day of my life.’

Tessa has just launched a new magazine and is busier than ever: she has no plans
_________  yet!
