John tells his story in a new RTE One documentary this week.
At Your Service star John Brennan has said the day he left school was the “happiest day of his life” as he opens up about being dyslexic.
Speaking in the documentary, John said: "The day I left school, and went on the vegetable truck was the happiest day of my life, because I was away from that prison of books and learning, which just didn't suit me well to relax...When you’re a young person you’re constantly being challenged by the only game in town, which is school.
Among those who feature in the programme are Hannah Daly, an occupational therapist and author of the book Knowing No Boundaries, champion swimmer Dylan Gunn a fifth-year secondary school pupil in Middleton, Jean O’Donoghue from the Traveller Visibility Group in Cork and Dr. Keith Murphy a lecturer in Social Policy for TU Dublin, Tallaght.
