Planning Your Future

When you start secondary school, although it may seem very easy to begin with, you are actually spiraling into a world where you have to make more decisions than you wish to. So here is some advice that I would give anyone who needed it:

Firstly, try and do well in different types of subject. You may not enjoy them, but then it gives you a range of options for GCSE. Also, try and enjoy English, Maths and Science because you have to do them for 5 years! I don't enjoy science, therefore I am not doing so well in it.

Secondly, don't procrastinate on thinking about your future. Research what qualifications you would need to get into certain courses etc. It will really motivate you to do well in your tests if you know you have to work towards going in a certain direction with your life.

Thirdly, when you choose your options, choose wisely and give yourself a range of subjects so that, if you choose one path when you start but actually, you don't want a career in that anymore, you have other options. Many courses at college do not require you to have taken that subject in order to take the course.

I hope this helps!

Stay happy,
