I was an academically bright lad who was urged by some of his teachers not toleave, but I wanted out, to see life, and I didn’t want to reach beyond the expectation of the friends wholeft school with me. I worked for a year in a laundry, as a van-boy delivering dry cleaning.On turning sixteen I applied to be, and eventually began working as, a trainee heating engineer with amedium-sized company in East Belfast. The first months were boring. The work was not demandingbut I found the environment of the factory annoying. I remember my first week. I left the factory tomeet up with a friend and I realized that I had forgotten to collect my wages. My friend thought I wasan idiot. After many months working in the factory, I was sent off to college to study for my Certificatein Heating Engineering. I found the classroom routine unpleasant and I remember feeling a sense oflimitation. Five years of this- to end up as a heating engineer and continue with that for the foreseeablefuture was not an exciting thought.Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers I had, without telling anyone, tried tocontinue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a boring walk from one end of the city toanother and to sit amongst adults was confusing. I was the youngest in the class, so the companionshipI knew at school was absent. I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter’snights and it was hard to concentrate on Shakespeare with wet shoes and soaking trousers. So I carriedon reading books and started writing poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and literary awards in national competitions. A young woman from a TVcompany came to the college one day. She told me in the quiet of the corridor that I had won a nationalpoetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me,to which I said: ‘No, I couldn’t do that.’ Not that I had any real excuse. I was just frightened. Sheeventually persuaded me that I should do it the following day.
