My parents have been there for every step.”Her mum Jacqui Fawcett, who is also a teacher, said Zoe’s journey had been a long road but she was extremely proud of her.“We didn’t find out till she was three years old that she was deaf,” she said. “There has been lots of hard work and struggles.“She did year 12 over three years. I know her last year of uni was hard.“We’ve always said just keep chipping away. Reading was a very difficult subject but we just kept working at it.“Sometimes parents can give up a little too easy. You just need to keep trying. “There has been a lot of tears but we’re so proud of her, we’re proud of both our daughters.“Zoe has always had the opportunity to choose her own path.”
