A sermon!!

Sunday, was a very nervous day, as my girls group leaders asked if I would share my experience from soul sista in front of the whole youth church! I have never talked before, at least not without crying, but I did it! YES!!!!! I looked at the wall behind, and when I looked at the people's faces, they were smiling at me! Several people told me I had done well, which was extremely encouraging!

I have my new workplacement on Friday, at a residential home in Ashford, which looks very nice, but I am worried (like usual) that they will forget I am meant to be going!!

Know your Elements!

This song reminds me of my secondary school days! A teacher called Mr Pritchard used to always play this song, and I tried to sing along, but I can't!!

My auntie!

My Auntie Rebecca took me to college yesterday, as my mum was helping her with some cleaning! It was brilliant to not have to catch the bus and train!

Auntie Rebecca told me she wasn't going to do anything embarrassing, but as I got out of the car, she started waving to me wildely, telling me to have a good day! I wouldn't have minded if there hadn't been anyone around, but unfortunately, a girl was walking down the road! She was laughing her head off, and couldn't stop smiling!! I hid in my jacket, pretending that I was invisible! Thankfully, the girl didn't say anything, but I could tell what she was thinking!
She is still the best though!!

My Auntie told my mum I had something to write on my blog today, so that is why I am writing this!

Im off to Canada!!!

The tickets have now been booked for my first trip to Canada, on the 16th July to the 12th August, with my Auntie Rebecca!
We are flying with zoom, which goes direct to Winnipeg airport, and apparently the seats are extremely comfortable, with delicious snacks!! When my Auntie told me that she was booking the tickets, I was jumping up and down! I can't really believe it at the moment!

Yesterday, was my cousin's birthday, and she lives in quite a small village! My mum and I went over there with her birthday present, I think she liked it very much!

Today, I went back to college, after a brilliant half term! Even more people have left the course now! Soon, I think they'll only be about three people left!

An afternoon with Louise!

Yesterday afternoon, Louise came round my house at 3.30 pm!! It was brilliant!
The first thing was to tell Louise about the surprise that is coming for her, which she is really excited about! Gethin, the blue peter presenter is signing a picture for her! It should be hear any day now! Louise was jumping up and down when I told her!
Afterward, we played on the playstation, on the game, the Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe! It was excellent, but we got a little bit stuck on a level!

For dinner, we ate Pork chops, Roast Potatoes, Courgettes, Sweetcorn, and Gravy!! Pudding was definitely the best though, as we ate Strawberry, and Cream cheesecake!

Today, I had a super day at the library this morning! I have to work to save up for my trip to Canada! I almost have enough!
Lunch was even better, as my mum and I went to Marks and Spencer! I brought cold sausages, and these cheesey stars!

Soul Sista Weekend!!

Last weekend, I went to Ashburnum in East Sussex with my girl's group to a soul sista houseparty!! It was brilliant! My friend, Becky came as well, so it was really good to develop a closer friendship with her!

The two girl's group leaders took us there, Fiona and Sonia! Once we arrived at Ashburnum at about 6.30, on Friday evening, we went and dinner! We ate Jacket potato, with cheese, which was delicious! Two of the soul sista team came and spoke to Becky and I, one of them was Irish!! We spoke for a while, and she said she worked on a television show, and that television show is Blue Peter! I was very excited, especially as I watch Blue Peter (yes, I know I'm sad!) Guess what Louise, her best friend is Gethin, and I have a surprise for you!!!

I kept asking the lady questions the whole time we were there!

There were plenty of things to do there, a pamper corner, where I had a hand massage! There were two seminars on Saturday, and two meetings, which were excellent!! On Saturday evening, the holy spirit moved, and people were falling over, which was very emotional, but super!

The food was absolutley scrummy, especially the forest fruits ice cream we had! There were lots of cakes too, and fruit flan!!

It rained quite a lot, but we did manage to see some of the beautiful grounds! The bed's weren't too bad, apart from I was on the top bunk, and I kept banging my head on the ceiling! There was also damp above me!

I had a wonderful time, and would definitely go back!!

The picture on the top right is my friend Becky, I have known her since I was born!! She didn't want me to post the picture, but I did post the nice one!

Spare ribs!

It has been a busy week, so far!!

Sunday, was a briliant day, but frightening at the beginning of the day, as I was made to go up to the front of our church to be prayed for! At first, I sunk into the chair, pretending I wasn't there! I eventually went up though!
In the afternoon, my Auntie Rebecca and Grandad came for dinner, and they brought spare ribs, which we ate yesterday evening for dinner!! They were delicious, especially the tangy, barbeque sauce they came in!! My Auntie Rebecca told me about her week, and about the duck she ate! Later on, we watched the dvd of Eithne's first Christmas, as my Auntie Rebecca hadn't seen it, it was really funny! We didn't manage to watch it all though, as grandad feel asleep!!

Another person has dropped out of my course!! There are not many of us left now!!

Every day, as I walk to the college, I look for Auntie Rebecca, or grandad passing by, so far, I haven't seen them!!

The elderly!

Yesterday, I was at the eldercare centre, for my workplacement! I am really enjoying it, and love listening to the elderly talk about their lives! There is one lady called Terri, who is super! She is almost 90 years old, and finds it difficult to walk, but she always takes my hand to help her! A man named Joe gave me £5 yesterday, and told me to buy an ice cream!! I had to check that that was alright though! Guess where my £5 is going to go? Not far to go!
Next week is my last week at the eldercare centre, and then I have only one more workplacement, it all finishes at Easter, which is early this year!

Today for lunch, I had a sausage and cheese pasty thing, it was delicious!!

Dreams!

I seem to dream every night! Monday night, I dreamt about Louise, that we were in sainsbury's supermarket together, and she was chasing someone! Tuesday night, I dreamt that I was running after Macauly Culkin (from home alone) in bluewater shopping centre!
I dream about Canada a lot, but that is understandable, as I think about it a lot!!

There was a huge argument at college today between two girls! All they seem to do is talk about each other behind their backs, I hate that!!!!

I am looking forward to half term, as I will have a week off!

A word!

Today, it was brilliant at youth church! We had fruit salad for breakfast, and Ashford and New Romney church came up to join us! It felt odd to have my old church there, but I have moved on, and extremely pleased!
We had to be in groups, to see if the holy spirit gave us a word for someone! I was given a word for the first time, that ws relavant to my daily life! I was really moved today!

I am looking forward to half term soon, as it will be a nice break! On the 9th of February to the 11th February, I am going to soul sista, which is a thing especially for girls! Apparently the roast dinners are delicious!

Aunite Rebecca, I hope you feel better soon, and well enough to go the gym and costa coffee!!

He's behind you!!

I am extremely pleased at the moment, because yesterday I sold my doll's house shop for £50, to raise money for my trip to Canada! It is no far to go now!!
The lady asked if she could have it for £40, but we stuck it out until the end, as we knew someone else was interested in it!

Today, I was at my work placement, which I am having a super time at! I had to do some chair excercises today, which was very tiring - NOT!!

This evening, I am going to the pantomime! It is brilliant, and we go every year! I especially go for the ice cream, as it's my favourite!

Stand up for what you believe in!!

Today has been a difficult day, but it was much better towards the end!!
There was only six people in college today, including me! One of the girls is not that nice, and she wouldn't stop talking about 'you know what'!! She was laughing at me, because I am different! It made me feel upset, but then I thought she is probably just insecure! I think it is good to stand up for what you believe in, and not follow everything else, but it take a lot of courage to do that!

The good part of the day was that I went to the doctors today, and managed to get something new for my spots! I have tried nearly everything on the market, and nothing seems to work!!

Miss Potter trailer

If you have the chance to see this film, you should!! It is brilliant! What could be better than sitting with your favourite Auntie and grandad, eating mint choclate chip ice cream, and watching a super film!

Madelines!!!

Yesterday, I got given some madelines from my Auntie Rebecca, they're the best!!! They taste a bit like buns, but even nicer!! When I arrived home last night, I couldn't resist eating one!

At the eldercare centre yesterday, I got to go on the eldercare bus, to pick up all the people! I even had to use the lift!! Doreen, the grumpy lady hit me with her walking frame yesterday! I am having a super time there though, and one of the old ladies said I was her favourite yesterday, which I felt extremely pleased about!!

My dad had to open a dead body up yesterday, who's bowell had burst! Unfortunately, when he opened the body up, poo went absolutley everywhere, all over my dad mainly!

I am going to the cinema today, to see miss potter, with my granda and Auntie Rebecca, and I am really looking forward to it!!

The dreaded parents evening!!

Well, yesterday went really well!! I had a parents evening, and I wasn't looking forward to it! We had to wait for ages to see the teachers, as people kept pushing in, but it wasn't too bad! I was worried about what Alison would say about me, but I think she liked my dad, so she is nice to me now!! They said I was too quiet, and needed to speak up more, but I get that comment every parents evening!!

Before, parents evening started, I walked to the Maf office, where my grandad was! It was brilliant! I even got a slice of cake, and a glass of milk!!

Once we had finished parents evening, it was fairly late, so we had a takeaway burger king! I have been put off kfc for life now, as someone in my church found a chicken head in their chicken, and they could even make out the eyes!!!

My favourite television programme starts on Saturday, Dancing on Ice!! I can't wait until I am on that programme - Not!!! Hopefully, after the summer I will be able to move on the ice, if my cousin Tim teaches me in Canada!!

Eldercare centre!!!

I have started my second work placement at the eldercare centre in Ashford!! I found it really interesting, apart from this moany, old lady called Doreen! All she did was boast about how great she was at everything, and moan every minute!! There were some really nice people too, who made me feel very welcome!

I dreamt a dream the other night about my second cousin Eithne, and that she was sitting on Erin's lap talking at the age she is now!! Not only was she talking, but she was using really intellectual words! Canada was also in the garage!!

I also dreamt another dream about my Auntie Rebecca and I, that we were flying to Canada, but I hadn't packed anything, and became really worried about it!!! I can't wait to see you soon Auntie Rebecca, I miss you!

Today, I had a brilliant day, as my grandad came over for dinner! He is really fun, and cares about you!!

Btec National Diploma in Health Studies!

I am going to be writing about my course, as asked by Carol-Ann!!

I started the course in September, and it is a very busy course, five people have dropped out already, because they cannot handle the amount of work set!
It is brilliant though, and I seem to learn quite a lot every day!! I have to catch the bus and train every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Thursday is my study day, and Friday, I am in a work placement setting!

My course is set into sections, some about Anatomy and Physiology, which is good because my dad can help me sometimes! There is a communication unt, research unit, work placement unit, and many other units!!

This course is worth three A levels, and I am hoping to become an Assitant Physiotherapist at the end of it! I would really like to work at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, which is a children's hospital! When I am older, I don't really want to stay in this country, but move abroad!!

Another day has passed!!

Another day has passed, which is a day towards the summer!!! Today, we had a surprise I.T exam, and I became a little bit worried, but I passed!! Horrahhhhhyyyy!

I have been assigned my next workplacement, which is a very short one! It is at the Eldercare centre, which I am quite looking forward to, apart from I am always anxious that I will make a mistake!

At college, I am always dreaming about certain things, mainly krispy kreme doughnuts, and travelling!! I am looking forward to March, because I will be having a krispy kreme doughnut, at Harrods!!

My favourite pictures of wonderful food!

A merit!

Yesterday, I was over the moon, because there was a piece of science work I had to add to 4 times for Alison my teacher! Yesterday, I finally recieved a merit, I am very thankful to everyone who prayed for that situation, and am extremely happy! Last year, Alison didn't think that I could cope with all the work on the course, but now, she is praising me up a bit more!

I have got a lot of work to do before July, as I have to try and raise £300! Hopefully, the library will take me on a bit more, I am going to write a letter! I have only been called in twice since september!
