Monday 25 November
I finally made it through exams… After weeks of revising and cramming, I can finally relax a li- Wait. No I can’t. It’s transition now, which means we have two weeks of year 12. Having transition is weird to me because we didn't have it in New Zealand, but I kinda like it. Instead of freaking out about what’s gonna happen next year, we get a head start at the end of this year. I’m finally in my last year of school!
I've been thinking about what I want to do once I leave school. For a while I had my mind set on going to university to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree, and then going on to teach art at high schools, but recently I've been thinking of something a little more achievable; An advanced paramedic. I hadn't really considered a medical career, but after taking Health as a subject, I've realized I really like it. Back in New Zealand my sisters did ‘cadets’ which is a volunteer organisation that teaches children first aid and lifesaving. They always came home with interesting stories about how… ‘They assisted the fire brigade in putting out fires.’ My mum also did a course, to become a trained ambulance officer and she would come home with interesting stories about how trucks rolled right before her eyes, and how she was first on the scene. So once I've finished year 12 I’m thinking of getting training to be a paramedic, and I’m really excited about that. As for the art side of things, I've wanted to get out of it for a while. It’s just something I’m good at , but it isn't something I want to do when I’m older because lately doing art is feeling like an annoying chore and I’m doing everything to avoid it.

This is me at the Mania first aid camp I went on while attending Tauraroa Area School.
