First week of a new year/term

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 friends and see all my helpers and tutors. Ive really had a good laugh and a good time. All that I need to learn is about controlling my emotions and focusing on the good parts in life. I have learnt to keep telling myself that I love it here and keep remembering that I always have a great time here at National Star.

I had a good afternoon starting my new work experience and I am really looking forward going back this week. I enjoyed every minute of it and I felt really grown up. I have really fallen in love with customer services now I have done customer services in real life in a job environment and I enjoyed it so much because it defiantly everything I enjoy.

Well... that was my first week done and I couldn't believe how quick it went.

Thank you for reading and I will blog soon

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 ...
