Robert

Hi, my name's Rob. I'm 12 years old. (No he's not, he's 17 now). I like sailing on my dads boat. I go to Neville Lovett school. I'm in year 7 (left). I've started drumming lessons. (and now he's got his own set of drums, god help us!). My best lessons at school are p.e and art, not so much because I like the teacher in art but because I like drawing. But I like the teacher in p.e., I think p.e is great because I like running and being active. I like swimming with my mates and playing tennis, badminton, football and sailing.

Well all of that is totally out of date. Rob now has an apprenticeship with Southern Motorboats on the Hamble where he is starting at the bottom and learning boatyard skills. He (just about) manages to get up every morning at 07:30 to catch the train to work and is very proud to be earning a wage.
