With a drive and determination that belie her tender years, Wexford woman Louise Doyle was leaving nothing to chance when it came to her state exams.
Now aged just 17, the past two years of her young life have been meticulously planned around eking out the maximum number of points from her Leaving Cert. A former student of the Loreto Secondary School in Wexford, she took the decision to move to Dublin and devote herself to studying with The Institute of Education on Leeson Street.
