Yesterday I went for an interview at my old school, to see if they’ll let me back to get some qualifications. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to go well, because I left school early and towards the end wasn’t the best student. Always getting in trouble for smoking, swearing, bunking, attitude or not doing any work. I certainly wouldn’t have let me back! Thank goodness my headmaster only seems to remember the good little girl from before all of that! I met the head of sixth form who helped advise me on which courses to take and unless anything changes between now and September I’ll be doing English and Maths GCSEs, Business Studies and Media Studies ASs (and yes, I am immature enough to find the fact that says ‘ass’ funny!), and ICT BTEC.
I’m so happy to be given another chance and I’m determined to stick at it this time! It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but it’ll be worth it. It’s not the work I’m worried about though. I’ve grown up a lot since leaving school and I know I can do it. My main concern is finances. My first year will be funded by the government, but I’ll probably have to pay for my second, as I’ll be nineteen at the start of the school year. Mum and I aren’t in a great situation financially, so I guess I’ll have to trust God to help with the money. I mean, the sixth form wouldn’t usually accept somebody with no GCSEs and my mum’s attitude towards me going back has improved dramatically since my friends at church started praying about it, so it seems like God’s been involved so far.
In other news, Lent starts tomorrow. I’ve decided giving up drinking permanently is very unlikely at least right now. So I’m going to give it up for Lent instead for now .
