Reach For The Stars With Abbie

Hi guys... you know by now how bad I am for trying to keep up to date with my blogging lol but I am  going to try to produce something today. Firstly, how are you all? Well, theres been lots going on and I can't believe how fast time goes when you have a lot to do. I have gone into my second year back at college and been doing so much. This year, I feel like I have gone back with more of a voice and my confidence levels feel like they've have blossomed this year since I have been back. Despite of loosing my biggest fan of all, my precious nan just under 4 weeks ago, I have started to get back on tracks. I feel proud to be apart of the Student Union Executive team this year at college and most importantly making decisions on behalf of the students. I love doing this as I love supporting and caring for all of the students. But the other things I have doing has been exciting. I love being 2nd year because its in-between I am confident in what I am doing but still not sure ab

Hi peeps, Me again, probably the last post of the summer before I head back to college at the weekend to start my second year! I can't believe I'm saying that because it doesn't feel that long ago since I started. This summer holiday has been great, full of time with my family, boyfriend and some friends. It has just been lovely to catch up with everyone that I don't really see a lot as I'm away at college,  that's why I love the holidays because I can see people without having to send a text or see them on FaceTime! lol, it has been nice. I have been to the gym and been working very hard with my trainer. I have been doing a lot of exercise to keep me strong and keep up my balance. In which I haven't seen much lately so I've been working on this a lot by doing walking, extra stretches and exercises at home. I have noticed this more recently and done more to build this up. I have also been doing my own Youtube videos of me working out and in my walk

Hello, me again thankfully not as far from my last post. Was thinking about doing this for a few days now but haven't got round to thinking about what to write about, but I thought it'll be lovely to reflect on my summer so far. Unfortunately, my moods haven't been the best that I have hoped for as Ive been getting bored quite easily and not been sure what to do with myself. But I've tried to turn this into great things like going in my walker a lot more, getting back into books and TV series etc. The two best things I have done this summer I have extremely enjoyed being at home with family and my boyfriend. But the good thing about this, in this time I come to grips and realised that blogging and social media is my way forward in life as i enjoy this and get a lot of positive feedback from it. I have realised because of my disability I want to do something off of my own back and something that I can call my own. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram

Hi guys, I'm back blogging finally! It's not like I don't like blogging but i just find even thinking about blogging a task, it's not I don't like  it, its always because I don't have time or the fact I can't think of anything to write about! So the summer holidays has just started, where has this year gone. Feels like it has flown by, this time last year I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going. However I am really glad I got my place in National Star and made lots of progress. Looking where I am now, I have grown in confidence and strength and I am making more decisions for myself. I think i'm doing so much for myself independently now and doing more now that this time last year I wouldn't ever think I would do for myself. This is the best thing I have got out of going to college.  I think I couldn't believe how quickly the summer came around. I was looking to a nice break at home but I was stunned and extremely pleased with my

Hello, On Wednesday 10th May marked the 50th birthday of National Star College -a college that allows students to reach their fullest abilities despite their disabilities and I'm intact very proud to say  i'm a student here and living a magical experience. Leading up to the birthday, we did lots of research to find out what the college was like back in the late 60s through to now and it was fascinating to see how the college had changed throughout the years. It was lovely to see how far the college has came throughout the years and how it has changed lives for many, many students. It was the most amazing afternoon, it started off with a lovely BBQ at lunchtime which led onto a huge party with a band, also some very lucky students got a chance to ride on a air ballon (I think this was the best part of the day!) We partied all afternoon and made lots of special memories i'm sure will live in people minds forever! To be part of the 50 years made me feel special and luc

Hi Trying to encourage the momentum of my blog a lot more and try to get more out there for you guys to read. It's sometimes to fit a blog  in my busy schedule but when I blog I do feel positive and motivated to do more. Been on Easter break these past two weeks, got one more week before I go back to college. Feels like I have got used to moving back and forth to two different houses and I'm settling back into the environments quicker. This is a thing I've struggled with throughout life,  I hate change! It's been my bug bare throughout life and whatever I do I still really can't get my head around it. I think i'm too emotional haha! Its been really nice to be home with my family and boyfriend, to just get time to chill and do the things I miss most about home, like getting woken up to the sound of my brother playing or helping Mum around the house. But seeing the people or things I took for granted before I moved is the best things about coming home. Rig

Hi guys I always thought blogging would be quite easy, just think of a topic and write about it.... HELL NO! This is why my blogs are few and far between lol, however I've decided that my next blog is thoughts and feelings. This might come across quite spiritual to some people but I think it's good for all of us to gather our thoughts and bring us back to the present moment. Lately I've been learning the difference between mindful and mind full. I bet most of my viewers are sitting there now on the computers or tablets feeling very confused about what I just wrote but yes, you read that right there are two ways that we are mindful or mind full. I like learning about the meaning behind 'mindful' as it allows me to clear my head and literally let the thoughts just float in and float out again. Just letting the thoughts drift in and out allows the thoughts to gather easily and try to make sense of what you are thinking or feeling. It's no good to fill y

Hi Finally l've picked up my blog again lol. I love blogging but as many people reading this must imagine how busy life gets and I must admit, blogging gets put on the bottom of my to do list and gets forgotten about LOL. I've been up to so much and always really busy and occupied. It's always loads to do and I feel really happy about life in general. I feel like I'm always learning new things and getting stronger at everything I do. I'm still really enjoying being at college and feel very settled. College life is always packed with things to do and I never feel like I get bored. I love my time there and feel like I'm always doing something new and I enjoy finding out other things that I can do to help myself. Been doing lots of fun things with friends, therapy and general college work. It's been a great laugh and I am having the best time. However I feel like the time goes too quick sometimes and I just want to press pause on time, lol but that show

Hey guys Thought I'd start to try to do weekly or fortnightly blogs about what has been going on. I went back to my 2nd home on Tuesday (It helps me to settle better when I call it home), back to Lizzie House was nerve-racking because I haven't got used to back and from home to college and then home again. But I soon found my feet when there was a knock at the door at 7.30am Wednesday morning to get up and ready to go back to college.... And then I was back in the swing of things!! Its been a emotional and stressful week but I have tried to turn it around with all of my exciting lectures, starting my first of four sessions of work experience, speech therapy and hydrotherapy. It has  been a very tiring week but a super exciting week! In a week, I have felt more positive about what i'm doing and why I am doing it. From this week I've learnt that I need to be strong and focus on what is important to me and what I should be focusing on. Its been nice to be back with
