Reach For The Stars With Abbie

Hey, Before I start I just want to say my apologies for not keeping up with blogging and allowing the importance of I used to see blogging has slightly faded. However in 2017, I am definitely going to make sure I give myself time to blog and use this page as a memory bank to store everything I have done so a bit like a diary but on the internet lol! Right lets get onto the reason why I wanted to blog today, as we all know its coming to end to 2016 and just wanted to blog about my highs and lows of this year. I don't know about my readers but for me it has been a massive year for me, so much has changed I have realised what my heart was set on doing for the rest of my life (childcare) wasn't the best path for me. I realised that I wasn't able to go into a childcare field job as I felt that I couldn't do all of the tasks that childcare required me to. So I fell out of love with childcare and realised that I wanted to do something around customer service... This was ...

My exciting but nerve-racking adventure of college! Hi everyone This was a blog that I did for CP Teens, so I thought I'd share it on my blog as I haven't blogged for ages! Hope everyone is well and had a positive couple of weeks! Today,  I am going to talk about my first half of the term at National Star College. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions but I wouldn't change my time there for the world. I have learnt so much and made loads of new friends.  I live outside of campus with 20 other students with a wide range of disabilities and we have all become like a big family. I commute into college which we travel by minibus, I love this as I feel grown up and independent living off campus. At college I am doing a Customer Service course, at the beginning I found it hard work to get used to all of the jobs, and tasks I needed to get done but I have started to become more quicker at tasks and finding them a lot more easier. The best parts of Custom...

Hi guys Sorry for not posting for a while, I have been trying to think about different things to post. I have started the summer holidays starting up a Youtube account in which I post footage of therapy, I am doing mostly videoing gym and yoga. I must admit its hard work trying to think of what to film but I am finding it much easier than blogging, as I can just film what I'm doing rather than trying to type up the things I am doing. But I will try to still post some typed blogs too! Now I've finished Sixth Form, I am trying to keep myself very busy by still working hard at the gym and at yoga. The past couple of weeks I have had a big jump in my therapy, the things I have struggled to do for ages and finding things easier and easier to do. I have come so far in the past couple of weeks, I try to not have a big break from gym or yoga as I can see a huge change in myself when doing regular exercise. I have been enjoying doing what I want however I have been trying to keep ...

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 h...

Hi guys As I am feeling a lot more happier about the things i'm doing and dealing with plans for the future easier, I am starting to look at more positive things to keep me going and keep me feeling happ y . Such as my two blogs, my diary that I write in everyday, my work I'm just finishing off for my course in childcare, gym and other therapies. When I look back on all of these, I feel really good about myself and helps me to keep going with what I'm doing and keep getting stronger/independent. It allows me to become stronger and independent as I learn how these things are good for me to support me for now and for in the future. These inspire me as I can see that these are good and positive for me to do and it allows me to deal with harder things I need to do and keeps me more calmer in trickier situations. When I feel stressed or worried about things I think about all of the positive things that I have done it makes me feel more satisfied about how to handle situations ...

Hi guys I wrote this blog  for a project for CP Teens but I thought to share this on my blog for you guys to read. I’ve been very busy the past few weeks with Sixth Form, gym/therapy, trying out new colleges/ waiting for offers from a selection of Universities and working on getting my Childcare course up to the level I want before I leave Sixth form next month. It has been a very busy few months however I have learnt after a few weeks of having a tricky time of feeling down and not having any drive in myself to go for what was important in life and what I really need to focus on, this has really taught me a real life lesson and I realised the things I thought was making me down wasn't really worth worrying about, after realising this I was able to put things more in prospective and focus on the things I really should be looking forward to and enjoying. After lots of help and support I was able to get over this negative patch and I was able to get on with things that brought m...

Hey guys,  Feels like ages since I last blogged, its been a few very busy weeks.  To start this blog off, I wanted to say i've been a lot more positive about things and wanting to do more to help myself and to stop feeling down about things, i'm not saying I don't have a down day or I don't get bored of things, in which I still do but I feel calmer about things and doing more without feeling down or fed up, its about doing things without negative thoughts behind them and then it was more enjoyable. In April I faced one of my biggest fears that was making me feel down, I spent 3 days at a disabled college called National Star and it literally made me think about how I enjoy being independent and the life skills I never had before. This was a very daunting moment in my life but it made me realise that I am capable of more than I was doing. It also made me realise how much I do and how far I have came. Back at sixth form, I have  become a lot more positive a...
