Ending of an amazing chapter of my life!

-
Hi guys,

Recently, I have finished my studies at sixth form and wanted to do a blog on how the past 3 years has gone for me.

I have learnt so much about myself and what I really need and want in life, it has given me opportunities to work for what I want and also make decisions for the future. Being a sixth form student has made me realise that I need to be more grown up and do more for myself like dealing with issues myself and figure out what I should do to help myself without having to ask for help all of the time.

Ive realised no matter what , I have to express my voice and speak up for what I want and not to rely on other people to know what is best for me. In sixth form I have realised that it is better to speak out and tell people what I want and need. In the past I have allowed others to decide solutions for me, however I  have took more of the responsibility and giving my opinion on things and told people how I wanted it done rather than people doing it for me.

I have had ups and downs with maintaining friendships throughout sixth form and I have leant who is and who isn't important to me. I know sometimes me and some people hasn't seen eye to eye but I have learnt how to ignore those that aren't important in life. I have learnt who to trust and who not to, also I learnt how to choose friends wisely and stay away from those that just causes me to land in trouble and issues.

Throughout my time at sixth form, I realised that I need to face things myself and stop trying to use every possible way to get out of it.  I have learnt that it's easier to just to get things done in the first place rather than messing about worrying about it and causing stress for myself.

The main quote I have learnt throughout my time at sixth form is "There's always tomorrow" and I have always used this quote because it always stops me worrying about things that I can deal with the next day, and stop cramming everything in one day and making me stress out.

I have really enjoyed my time at sixth form and looking forward to starting the next and new chapter of my life!

Thanks for reading this blog and I hope you enjoyed it (if Joan, Elana or Liz reads this blog, thanks for allowing me to write such a positive blog if it wasn't for you guys it wouldn't have been such a great experience of being a sixth form student)

Slowly approaching the next stage of life

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...

Get Over Yourself...We're Only Disabled! Part 25

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled ! Hey my lovely readers. I hope you are well.  Acknowledgements   Well, what can I say? I can't believe I have written my first book!  It took me a whole year to write this, with support from staff at National Star College and my family.  I thought writing a book would be really difficult and I would have just given up over time but despite amending how many chapters I wanted in this book, I achieved what I wanted to get out of writing a book. I must admit that I haven't worked on “Get Over Yourself, We’re Only Disabled” religiously.  However, it has been refreshing to have a goal to work towards.  Something that can be my thing, my aim, and my success.  I feel that I have achieved that. I want to say a massive thank you to my family for helping me over the years to get to this point where I’ve been able to write this book and have the knowledge and understanding of my life and mine...

Up Movement, The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. I know after I finished posting my book, I wasn't sure on what to post on my blog. So I decided to have a little break to think about what I could post about but I really wanted to come back with a special idea for my blogs, I wanted to talk about what is interesting me lately. I attend a Zoom meeting each week with a lovely organisation called UP movement, a group set up by an amazing lady called Emma and then another brilliant lady called Mirriam. Emma has Cerebral Palsy herself, so that in its self is really lovely as it gives others a sense of achievement and encouragement, just to learn about her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Emma is incredible, she has Cerebral Palsy, however she is a wife and a mother, she is the founder of Up Movement and a strong advocate and a voice for people with Cerebral Palsy.    The people who attend are adults with Cerebral Palsy, so this ...
