A day in my life

A Day in My Life

My name is A N Other I am 17 years of age and I live in High Wycombe. In this essay I will be talking about my goals, dreams, and ambitions in my life.

I been through many rough patches in the year 2008 as I did not do very well in my GCSE’S and was thinking of dropping out of education. I then realised I am not the only person who has failed in exams and people actually learn from their mistakes. I then decided to stay in education and do BTEC Business and ICT. I was hoping to do my BTEC’S in Holmer Green Senior School, unfortunately they would not accept me back in due to the lack of grades and also the lack of people doing the course and I was scared that I might have to take a gap year. I was on a mission trying to find a school who will accept me studying the following subjects. My parents were supporting me throughout this terrible ordeal as I was stressed out in every single way. My parents had contacted Sir William Ramsey School and they had made an appointment. I was worried as ever because I was going into a new environment and I did not know if I was going to fit in with other students. Me and my parents had arrived at the appointment and had a talk with the head teacher. The school had accepted me and I was pleased and nervous as ever as I was to start the next day. At long last I had started to go to school and on my first day I had jelly legs. The thought of me entering in to school was making me feel sick and I though this would be devastation for me. I went to registration and saw my form tutor he was a big grumpy old man. I soon started to make friends in the following days but I still felt something was missing. I was not as happy as I used to be and I wanted to change schools because the environment was just not for me. Luckily High crest Community School had contacted me and they were willing to accept me in to their school. I was delighted with this news and I did know that I had cousins who go to High Crest Community School and they are in the same year as me so they could give me directions around the school. I started to attend Highcrest and I really started to enjoy my school life the teachers were really lively and at this moment they are helping me a lot with my subjects.

Life in 2008 has meant a lot for me not just going back to further education but I have started to socialise more with people and there is just that extra joy and drive which I have. Of course 2008 has been a roller coaster for me and I am studying BTEC not quite where I expected to be but actually going well. I am a more focused and a dedicated person and my character as a person has changed quite dramatically. I am more lively and energetic student in lessons where in my old school I was boring and never used to engage with teachers in certain topics. My whole life had taken a right turn which was quite pleasing in a way. I would rather fail now and learn from my mistakes unlike when I am older and when I have less time to change things.

My life and ambitions have drastically changed. I no longer wanted to be a football player because I had always knew I wasn’t good as I was supposed to be, if I ever wanted to succeed as a professional football player. From there on I had started to figure what I really was good at and that was computing. I always liked computing from a little kid but never really took interest as I was to busy doing other things, but I started to take computing seriously and have undertook many courses outside of school which will entitle me to have good knowledge about computer components. The mistakes which I had made in my earlier school career were I never took live very seriously and I just thought the day will pass on as usual. I soon realised everyday is a different day and I would have to take each day very seriously. That was not the only mistake I had made I was also influenced by my friends in many ways. If my friends were up to no good I would be up to no good this is were I had lacked self independence and gradually I knew I was doing wrong and I had to take time out and analyse myself as a person and where was I going wrong. Once I had taken out time I had promised my self I would be a changed person at the start of the year in my new school. And I personally think I have lived up to my expectations. My family also think I am a different person such as I am more lively and I can make conversation with them. I also have been praised from parents for working hard in sixth form as I am studying BTEC. My parents have really helped me a lot especially my mum where as my dad did care but wasn’t always there to talk to me and give me advice where as my mum was.

There are many ambitions and dreams for every single person but it depends if you willing to work had and achieve your goals and targets. Me as a person I really want to go into the computing industry. I generally think I have enough passion and drive to be working in the computing industry. It is all well and good saying this but as we know we can not control our destiny and things can happen from seconds to minutes and to years. As you know what my ambitions are you probably want to know what my dreams are as well. My dream is by the age of 25 I want to be successful business person with my own private jets which will help me travel around in different countries. This dream is achievable as we all know live is quite unusual in many different circumstances. One day you might fill in the lottery and the next day you just found out you are a millionaire which in this day and age might not be enough due to the fact many companies are getting bankrupt and people are losing their jobs and I hope this will not affect me.

To achieve my ambitions I will have to take certain steps which will help me progress in the future. I really want to do my A levels so I will need to pass my BTEC and achieve 3 merits in the twelve units that I am studying. I am person who like’s a challenge and I will never back down from things which will benefit me in life. I have already thought of going in to further education and studying computing and business and hopefully I will be able to go to university by studying hard and passing my a levels which will be a wonderful achievement for me. When I have passed my degree at university I then want to have good job which will hopefully help me to earn loads of money but at the same time supporting my family and making sure my parents have stable life because they have played a big part in my life. I will have to be patient and wait for the opportunity once I have seen it I will grab it as fast as I can, as they say the world is your oyster.
