She played the violin with the Hampshire County Youth Orchestra, and flew for the first time at 17 to Australia, on tour with the orchestra. Rebecca read English Language and Literature at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, which an all women college. She chose St Hugh’s as there were far fewer women than men at Oxford at the time, and even fewer from comprehensive schools and she believed, correctly, that she would have a better experience there than more traditional Oxford colleges. At St Hugh’s, she ran the drama society for three years and also taught herself to use the college computer, a Honeywell, so that she could earn money by typing up Fine Art student’s theses. While she was at Oxford her Sixth Form College head-master suggested that she applied for a Rotary Foundation Scholarship which she won. She used the scholarship to go to Boston University in the USA and take a Master of Science in Broadcasting, specialising in Cable and Satellite systems. Rebecca married in 1991 and has two sons. Her husband gave up work to bring up their sons when they were 1 and 3. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rebecca George」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
