It is the end of a chapter. School is finally over! If you have read our blog for a while you would think I am repeating myself that "school is over". However, school is literally over, it is official We have received our results and now there is no need to go back So we decided this post would just be a link of all of our school posts so if anyone who reads this is seeking advice, specifically about year 11, then you can just click any post linked below that you desire to read. Also a link of school posts would be boring, so we are just going to write how we are feeling about the new chapter we are about to enrol and hopefully someone can relate to this post?
Firstly, we want to write about how we are both feeling for the next step in our life and the chapter that has now come to a close. The other day me and Kirsty were talking (obvs) and I said something that I thought was a good explanation of many young people in education. Which is, our whole life has been lived in a routine surrounded by familiar people who we have grown up with over time. Although we have been educated about English, maths, science , etc. We have not been taught what life is actually like...what is it like to not be in a routine? What it is like to be completely independent? What it is like to adventure into the real world? All our life to this point, we have been living in a cycle that never changes and now it is a chance that in a way we are reborn and have a chance to be who we want to be, we have a chance to make mistakes and learn from them and we have a chance to build proper friendships/relationships. It is strange to think that most 16 year olds only know the life we have been living which is waking up, going to school, come home, eat and then wait for the next school day. But now it is our time to adapt rather quickly to the real world. We have to adapt to rely on ourselves and not our parents to help us, we have to adapt to vast changes from going to a secondary school to a college and we have to adapt to not seeing our friends everyday. All of what I have said is actually quite daunting but incredibly exciting! We are excited to finally explore hidden places, we are excited to live spontaneously (the only spontaneous we can remember is in this post) we are excited to meet new people and we are excited to enter adulthood! We remember from our last assembly at school the teachers gave us a lot of advice about doing what we want and trying new things as you wont know unless you try, and about being happy. Those speeches they gave us really opened our eyes, that life should be about taking chances even if you do not know the outcome right away, you should make choices because you know you want to do it, never doubt what you think just go for it and if you do not like whatever that was then at least you do not regret not trying it in the first place. We only get one life so we should live it how we want to live it, not how others want us to live it! And that is our cue to stop our little speech....
