I was privileged to be awarded with an honorary Doctor of the University degree by Open University in Scotland. In my speech, I said, "The Open University has always represented a thirst for knowledge, a hunger to be educated. People who enrol with the OU so often do so in conjunction with working or raising kids, and so it's always seemed to me that anyone with an Open University degree has doubly triumphed: they have fought so hard and sacrificed so much to learn and better themselves. That’s why I’m so honoured to receive this degree.”
