Reach For The Stars With Abbie

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 ...

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 ...
