Hi Guys,
Jesus College is so much harder than I expected.
As you may, or may not know, I take 3 A Levels which are Psychology, Photography and English Literature and alongside a Pre-Teaching course. The difference between secondary school and year 12/13 is massive, and you won't truly understand this until you are in the same scenario. This blog post is not beauty related, it is not fashion related, it is simply a rant as I need to let out some steam and believed this would be the best place to do so.
Photography is a huge passion of mine, I love spending money on equipment, I love taking my camera out every where I go and taking photo's of everything and anything, I love hanging my photo's up on my wall. I generally just love photography. I have recently handed in two portfolios in and achieved an A and a B which I was over the moon with. I can express myself through my images and explain my reason behind them on the second page. I get to spend time looking at other photographer's work and getting inspiration from them. But there's a problem that I've only recently started to face, I've stopped being creative. I used to take my camera out and make an apple look creative and interesting, but now, I feel as if I'm forcing it and it doesn't seem to be working. So with my final topic in Year 12, I seem to be finding it really hard. It wouldn't be as bad if I didn't load as much pressure onto myself to need an A to get into Uni. I just don't know what to do at the minute.
As for Psychology, I suck.
English Literature is amazing, of course, I struggle with some aspects such as poetry and the layout of my essays, but reading just takes me away to another place. Makes me relax, smile, cry, all the possible emotions you can think of in one sitting. When we have a class discussion I have so many points I wish to raise and discuss, however, my confidence just doesn't let me put my head up. I stay there freaking out in case my teacher chooses me, in case she asks me to read aloud and this just plainly ruins this class for me.
Pre-Teaching allowed me to determine my love for working with children because as part of my specification I needed to do 40 hours placement at a local primary school. I have finished my hours now but am staying on until the end of the year. I learnt that I do not want to go into teaching, but I do want to work with kids. It's allowed me to look further into jobs with children rather than jumping to a teacher.
Yes, I know I rant on about College but it's possibly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I struggled in secondary school, never turly finding my true friends, however in Year 12 I have met so many people and lost all of the negative people in my life. Although I am extremely stressed, I know it will all pay off in the end and that I am so happy I decided to do to college.
Thank you for reading my rant ;)
Lots of love,
