Carl Turner was told the devastating news his mum had died while in a revision session - and sat the maths exam just hours later
A hopeful electrician aced his maths GCSE just hours after learning of his mum's sudden death. Carl Turner, 52, sat his maths exam the the morning after he found out that his mum Lynn passed away from a lung haemorrhage at the age of 69.
And like many other students across the UK, the dad, from Rochdale, went to pick up his results with his 14-year-old son Luke on Thursday where he was told the news he had passed.Despite being grief-stricken from the news of his mum's sudden death, that he received while in a revision session, Carl went on to complete the paper and found out that he had passed the crucial qualification that he revised for while completing a Level 2 qualification in Electrical Installation at Hopwood Hall.
"I did it because I had to do it to become an electrician – but I loved it. I met so many new friends from different cultures and different backgrounds. It was great and I always looked forward to the lessons.” Carl said: “I’d have done it a lot sooner if I’d have known it was free. It wasn’t just the course that was brilliant, there were additional revision sessions held to make sure our class was completely prepared for the exam.
