As a primary school pupil, many many years ago, my dreams of becoming a journalist, were just that, dreams.Like many Bangladeshi girls in my school, I thought I too would end up working in one of the textile factories in Rochdale where I grew up, or if I was really lucky, I might get a job as a receptionist in an office. No one was pushing me to become a writer, a doctor, a social worker, or accountant or a teacher. Why such low expectations?
