Havering student Shannon is success story
An exciting new chapter looks set to unfold for Havering College student Shannon Fogg.
The teenager’s big ambition to become a published author has been given a boost after her talent was recognised in a short story writing competition.
Shannon has been selected for a special award as the winner of the 12-18 category in the competition organised by Havering Council.
Her story on this year’s theme of Havering and Heritage has earned her a �50 prize.
Shannon, who has just turned 19, is studying AS and A-levels in English Literature, Culture and Communication and Law at the Havering College Ardleigh Green Campus in Hornchurch, Essex.

Shannon said: “I have always been a reader and writer. My mum taught me at home before I even started school. I always have three or four books on the go at any one time and will read a book I have enjoyed at least four times.”
