Meeting at College on Tuesday

First of all, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported me throughout the past week or so and even longer than that for that matter! I have been going through a lot lately and dealing with a lot of stress and your support has meant the world to me so thank you all for always being there for me - it means a lot and I just hope I can repay you all back in some way!!

I had a meeting on Tuesday with the College near where we live. As some of you may already know if you have been reading my Blog, I am currently taking my Year 9 Options which is where you basically choose which subjects you want to do in the last 2 years of School. You have to take Math, English and Science and then you can pick any other subjects you would like to do.

The meeting on Tuesday at College was about a course that I am hoping to do. The Course is based on Health and Social Studies and lasts for 2 years. During that time, you learn a lot about health, first aid, how to look after small children etc.

The teachers at the meeting were really friendly and they gave me and my mum lots of really useful information. Because I have been off school for so long due to my RSD and other health issues, we have to get my Pain Management Doctor to write the teachers a note telling them about my RSD, how it affects me etc.

I have to go for an interview on the 22nd and 23rd April and I should find out a few weeks after than if I am going to be accepted or not!! I really hope that I will as I think it will be really useful for me seeing as I want to be either a Psychologist or Physiotherapist.

Will the Course be a lot of hard work? Yes, there is no doubt about it and I have been told that already by all of the teachers. Am I prepared for it though? I think I am yes! I know it will be a lot of hard work but I think it will all be worthwhile as long as I can cope with it and I remember to pace myself! The teachers on the Course already know about my RSD and said that if I get onto the course and need time off, that is fine as long as I catch up in my own time! I was SO shocked on Tuesday as one of the teachers was a nurse and she actually knew what RSD was ... not many people have heard about RSD so that was a huge surprise!!!

I will keep you all updated and let you know when I hear anything else - please keep your fingers crossed for me!!
