A. The barrister
At the age of nine, without a word of English, Hashi was sent from Kenya to live in Britain, where he was raised exclusively on state benefits, with very little to live on. “I attended badly performing schools and was always moving around between different relatives.” Despite this, Hashi managed to scrape through his exams and get into university to study law. Much later, having done a master’s degree, he was inspired to become a barrister so that he could represent people in court. “But first you have to do a work replacement where you shadow a barrister. Unfortunately, it took me 18 months before I was accepted because I didn’t have any contacts in the profession. It isn't fair, but there is no point trying to pick a fight with a system.” Now a junior barrister at a top firm, Hash! attributes this outstanding achievement against the odds to a combination of the people who believed in him, the scholarships and loans which enabled him to afford the course, strong self-discipline and a lot of hard work.

Starting Over Again
Ever since I can remember, I always love to draw. When I was very young, I scribbled all them over my bedroom walls until I mastered paper and pencil. Later, an enlightened schoolteacher made sure of I went on to art school and it was there did I draw my first life model, which was a wonderful experience. My tutors encouraged me to take in drawing seriously, but I ignored their advice. I wanted to do something more exciting like a career and I chose graphic design. After college, I worked for a number of years as Art Director at a small publishing company. I loved the sociability of office life, but gradually became more and more frustrated. I found myself long to draw properly again, but what meant having time to draw those things which interested me. Then, out of the black, it was announced that the firm was being reorganized and I was offered voluntary redundancy with quite a large number of cash payment. I leapt at the chance. With enough money in the bank to support me for two years, I went back to art college, determined to get my drawing skills backed up to scratch so that I could embark on a career as an illustrator.
