I love how the skills you develop as a scientist can be applied to sewing and other crafts. Like science, sewing requires creativity, as well as an initial idea or concept to get going. Both are about research and experimenting, and are iterative processes, in which you apply knowledge gained from work that you and others have done previously. Despite these parallels, craftwork such as sewing and knitting is often undervalued or dismissed because it's seen as 'women's work'.

For me, it was seeing that what was offered (by rightwing parties) was not relevant to where I was at the time as a student. I had no money, no job, no connections and no clue about where I wanted to go with my life. But I did know I didn't want to work in London, wearing formal office attire and being a slave to the nine-to-five grind for the rest of my days. The leftwing parties seemed to offer more inclusion and be more welcoming to ordinary folk like me. So that's where I looked for my political home.

My grandma, Millie, played a huge role in my life. I think a lot of people can relate to being really close to a grandparent and feeling that they understand you more than most. Millie was that person for me. When I was two years old, my mom was hospitalized for a couple of months with a broken ankle, so I stayed with Millie while she recovered. We both lived in Chicago.

Parenting refers to all activities that support children's development, including their physical growth, their cognitive learning, and their emotional well-being. It is shaped by the interplay between parent and child.

'Felix's struggle to express love for Jess is deeply rooted in familial dynamics. Despite being communicative in multiple areas, he guards his true feelings.'

In a 2023 interview, Jimmy Burrow explained that his son avoids communication with them close to game time to maintain focus and minimize distractions.

My mother knew all along. Columbia University wanted me to play football... She had no clue what that coach was talking about.

"I think our motivation comes from our dad - he's encouraged us to follow our dreams and we have both done that," Owen told BBC Sport.

Candace Castro reflected on the joy of witnessing her daughters become nurses, stating, "It's very emotional. It makes me very happy, very proud.”

"If you spoke to my father, it was just a normal guy just speaking like I'm speaking to you now. But when my dad got pissed off that's when Frank Rizzo came out."

The game that stands out for me, as a fan, was Leinster versus Munster at Croke Park in 2009. It was probably my first big memory of Leinster.
