End of an era and new start

Hi guys

I'm back to blogging now I have finished college, it wasn't like I didn't want to blog or didnt have time, it wasnt anything like that, it just kept slipping my mind.

Anyway a few weeks ago, I took part in my own fundraiseer for National Star College, where I swam 25 lenghs of a Hydrotherapy pool (250 meters), 500 metre walk in my Meywalker and 1 mile on a specialist bike.

   It was an amazing day and I raised a great amount of funds for the college. I wanted to take on this challenge as I wanted to give regognition back to the college for the amazing support they gave me over the three yeas I was there. I achieved a lot that day and I am so happy that I did it, it was a fantastic end to my time at college.I achieved my physio goal for this year,  a triathlon/ a fundraiser was my goal at the start of the year last September and I smashed it! I am grateful for everyones generosity and support I recieved to help this event to run smoothly.

Another amazing day was my leavers awards ceremony, it was very emotional however it felt an achievement how much I have done at college. I feel proud of what I achieved in my three years at college. It wasn't easy but I have came so far in the space of three years and I hope I can keep achieving now I am back at home. Being back home means new challenges, new goals and new achievements!

It is a start of a new chapter now I am home and I am looking forward to seeing what I can achieve next. I just want to enjoy my time at home and look foward to my next challenge and achieve new goals. I feel that I can turn a fresh page and treat the next stage as a book and keep looking forward to  what will be next. But at the moment I am enjoying the time I have to do all the things I love doing.

Looking back at the three years at Star, it has gone so quick but i have achieved so much, Skiing twice, ive wrote a book,  a mini triathlon, being part of the Student Union for 2 years, met loads of people and just had the best time. I will miss it but i have a exciting new start ahead of me.

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoyed it.

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 ...
