She continued: ‘I found it really hard to absorb school information because my brain is not wired to learn like other people’s. I’m a very hands-on learner. I just learn very very differently to the average person.
‘So, I feel like school is very structured for normal people or the average student, so I wasn’t that. I just feel like the structure of how they teach things, not everyone is going to learn that way. It’s just how it is.’
Skye went on to reveal while she hated studying, she ‘loved’ the social side of school, claiming she was friends with everybody.
