Jill:
"My husband is long-suffering - he’s particularly helpful when I’m on the umpteenth draft of an essay and cannot bring myself to read it through again. He’ll point out the typing mistakes and tell me when I’m repeating myself or waffling too much."

Samina
"Everyone around me has been supportive. Sometimes I need a push in the right direction. On many occasions I’ve been able to discuss some problems with them about my work."
