What has the decade brought for me?
- I finished my GCSE’s with 14 A-C grades
- I passed my driver’s test and got my full licence
- Passed all 4 of my A-Levels
- Went to Germany and Denmark on my own
- Got my level 3 NVQ in Business and Administration
- Finalist in KEiBA’s “Apprentice of the Year”
- Managed to hold down a full-time job since June 2013!
- Went to America for the first time
- Went from a helper to Young Leader to a sort of Assistant Beaver Scout Leader with 5th Deal
- Met some great kids as part of Scouts and so proud of how they’re growing up and making me feel old.
- Got somewhat over my Vertigo issues and can now ride rollercoasters
- I can actually eat Veg like an adult and sometimes have Veggie meals, I’m not the fussy eater I once was :o
- Worked on my stage fright and now I can talk and do other things in front of a crowd without completely freezing (except dance)
- Got to meet Princess Anne
- Played pool with a cracking team for the RMA and even managed to win our division
- Got to be Captain of the said pool team
- I got to see some incredible stage shows and gigs (mostly over past 2 years) including Enter Shikari; Waitress the Musical; Wicked; Phantom of the Opera; George Michael; Lea Michele & Darren Criss; Jersey Boys and More
- Stopped myself from going over 20st in weight and have lost 10% of that weight since
- Got myself a mortgage and now live on my own
- Started a new hobby in singing and I love it
- Started properly song-writing and now have 5 songs under my belt and more underway
- Started a YouTube channel to share my music as a hobby
- I’ve managed to sing in front of essentially a full-house at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury (only 2-4 lines but I don’t care, did it)
- Thanks to singing I got to meet some amazing singers and I even managed to sing with them sometimes (looking at you Dana, Jack and Chrissy)
- Managed to stay single the whole time
- The best bit… I got to be friends with some amazing people, some I talk to on the odd occasion, I might only see them once a year or more scarce than that, some I get to see more frequently and a couple I pretty much see all the time. I have some incredible friends which some are just more family to me and I wouldn’t change a goddamn thing about my time with them.
