College or university what route should I take ?
Nearly ten years ago I was faced with the decision . Do I stay on at school and do my A levels then go to university or do I go straight to college . At such a young age you have to make sure a huge discussion something that could potentially impact the rest of your life . It was a decision I didn’t find easy to make. I was really torn with what to do and what would be best for me . I had lots of people expressing their options to me and I just didn’t know what to do for the best . I knew what I…

All you do is play all day- yer right !!
For as long as I can remember I always wanted to work with children. I can remember being about 9 or 10 and going round my moms friends house who was a child minder and helping her with the children.
