Met Éireann meteorologist loved maths and science, but had no interest in studying French
Joanna Donnelly is a meteorologist at Met Éireann. She sat the Leaving Cert at Mater Christi Girls Secondary School in Finglas – now renamed New Cross College – in 1987Walking to the village to buy cream buns for the invigilator with my friend SandraMs Johnson, my maths teacher. She was and is a wonderful woman. She went above and beyond, taking time out of her free days to work with me and my classmate in honours maths to make sure we were prepared.
A close call between chemistry and maths, but I’d say chemistry probably pipped maths at the post. Just because it’s such a fascinating subject.Points, no. I know I got a B in honours chemistry and was disappointed I didn’t get the A. My teacher was also disappointed for me, which my other teachers found funny considering a B was pretty good.Not so terribly important. I needed four honours to get the grant to go to university and I got those.
