@coach_jb1 Wasn’t to improve his “lie”, it was that to improve his club “backswing”.

On Thursday it will be exactly two years since I graduated from the University of Dundee with a First-Class degree in Financial Economics.

I took the long route.

Rejected from university more than once. An HNC, then an HND. Then back to college as an adult to sit Nat 5 Maths, a school qualification, because that was the door I needed to open.

Throughout all of it, I had no idea I had dyslexia.

For years I assumed I simply wasn’t as academic as other people. I worked twice as hard just to keep up, never understanding why.

The hardest part wasn’t the exams. It was the quiet, grinding self-doubt. Wondering whether some doors were simply never going to open for someone like me.

But I kept going. And eventually, the door opened.

I made it to university, became President of the Finance and Investment Society, and four years later walked away with a First. On the exact day I submitted my dissertation, the community that raised me elected me as their councillor.

Two years later I am standing to become the MP for Arbroath and Broughty Ferry.

Not because life went according to plan. But because I refused to stop when it didn’t.

Every child should be screened for dyslexia. No young person should spend years doubting themselves when the real issue is simply that they learn differently.

Talent is spread evenly. Opportunity and support are not.

If this reaches one young person working twice as hard and wondering why: your path does not need to look like anyone else’s. The door will open. Keep going.

On Thursday I am asking Arbroath and Broughty Ferry for the chance to take that into Parliament.
