My Last Week At School...

I honestly can't believe that this is my last week. I leave school on Monday 28th of April and I cannot believe that that is 6 years already! It feels like just yesterday I was walking towards the school with my best friend, Rose, for the first time. The new start, the big building, the new people... it was all so much to take in at the time, and now it's all over!

I have never been a popular person throughout my time in high school. I had a couple of friends but they both left at the end of our 5th year :(I was bullied for a very long period of time which really destroyed my confidence for a long time... however, this year has been different. I have a very good friend, called Emma, who has been a very good friend to me throughout our final year together.
I am head of my S6 Prom Committee which is very rewarding as I am working with a fantastic group of people and we are organising a fantastic prom for our fellow peers.
I am head of the schools Anti-Bullying Committee, which has allowed me to help younger pupils who are facing the same issues that I had previously dealt with.
I have been taking part in the school's Paired Reading Programme in which I help a young boy, Justin, who struggles with his reading. I am good friends with Justin now and I hope to stay friends with him for a long time :)
I also help out at my school's Young Chef's After School Club in which I aid younger pupils with their cooking skills which is further enhancing my skills of (hopefully) becoming a Home Economics Teacher!

It is very strange knowing that I will not be attending any lessons from 8:30 to 3:30, that I won't sit in my registration class and wonder whether today will be the day that our tutor teacher might actually read out the daily bulletin, that I might not hear one of my guidance teachers AWFUL jokes! :P

High school has helped make me the strong, independent person I am today :) I am sure that I will carry the skills that I have learned in high school for the rest of my life.
