Hi everyone 

I did this piece of writing just for a article at college, however I had a good idea to share it on my blog too! 

I hope you enjoy

My ski trip to Andorra

I had an amazing time when I went skiing in Andorra for a week in January. Leading up to the trip, I was very nervous because it was the first time I have been on a plane or travelled outside of England without my family. However I felt really happy and safe with the staff and students who I went with, I didn't even find it scary as I had such a great atmosphere on the way there, I completely forgot about being nervous.

I skied for 5 days and in them 5 days, I overcame so many fears and just took everything by both hands and went for it! It took a few days to get to grips with how the sit ski worked and I learnt how to move it to side to side using my body by leaning to one side and then to the other to get it going and carry on moving. Then I learnt by controlling how much I leant my body weight to the side I was going, it meant how slow or fast I could go. Funnily enough I learnt that the quicker you go, you have more control over the ski, If I went slow, I would just fall over, and trust me a face full of snow is not very nice!

I tried mostly all of the slopes and one of the days I was so confident and quick, I managed the red run four times!! One of the runs only took me nine minutes to get round!  I loved every second on the snow. Once I was wrapped up in all my layers and sleeping bag I was away down the slopes. 

One of my favourite bits of skiing was getting on the ski lift as I loved looking down and around the ski resort and watching all of the skiers below me. The only things I didn't like when it was windy on the lift, it was perishing I had to duck my face so I didn't get smacked in the face with wind but my face still hurt from the wind. I didn't love it but it was still highly hilarious. After the ski lift I was  slightly warmer back on the ground but it was still freezing. 

The apree Ski ( AKA the pub!) was always a treat after a cold day on the slopes. We went to the Irish bar most evenings for a well deserved pint or for some a cocktail. There was live music and the inturucters always joint us so it was lovely to hang out with them. It was just nice to chill. We mostly ate at the hotel but one of the evenings, we went to a pizza restaurant next to the Darby (pub) and we all had the biggest pizzas Ive ever seen. We couldn't finish them we was that full. 


I had a amazing holiday, a tiring one but I would do it all again.

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 ...
