I was the first person to go to university from my family.

As far as I could tell, I was the first person anywhere in my family tree to go to university.

I was the first one in my family to go to college.

After college, I went to England and studied for a couple years.

I was educated at King's College, Taunton and went to the University of Cambridge in 1942.

I'm the first person in my family to go to college.

My parents didn't go to university and weren't brought up in England. They hadn't heard of any other universities other than 'Cambridge' or 'Oxford.'

I made it to London aged six, an event I recorded in my diary with coloured markers to convey my sense of occasion. And in 1983, after graduating from college, I returned to spend two years at Cambridge University.

I went to school in Massachusetts at Hampshire College.

When I was 13, I won a scholarship to boarding school. My parents let me choose whether to go, and I decided I wanted to. Afterwards, I went to Cambridge to study law - in a way, I was carrying the academic hopes of my family, as Mum and Dad left school at 14.
