Results Day

Wednesday 10th September, was the day we got our Junior Cert results. The minute I woke up that morning I couldn't stop predicting what grades I thought I'd get. When I stepped foot the school hall, my heart was beating so fast and I started to have butterflies. Our results was given to us one by one and when it got my turn, I felt like turning back.

      I slowly opened the envelope thinking that I failed a subject or more but when I took the sheet out and examined it I was surprised. I did better than I expected and I was really happy. I was proud of what I studied for and I studied really hard for the State Exams.

      Later that day, I went out to celebrate with my friends and we had a great time. I'm not just happy for myself, I'm also happy for my friends and everyone else.

My First Day of TY Workshops

The first workshop that I've participated was 'Etiquette.' At the beginning we played a game where we put down a fact about ourselves and people had to guess whose it about. I think the game helped and we all learned something about each other that we never knew. We watched a video about 'body image,' and I thought that it was inspiring. It inspired me to accept my body shape and that I shouldn't feel insecure about it. Afterwards we learned how to walk properly in heels I thought that was fun. We walked down on a red carpet and learned to keep our posture while walking in heels. We then learned about skincare and from that we exfoliated our hands. The result of exfoliating made my hands really smooth and I was impressed.

The second workshop that I've participated was called 'Positive Parties.' In that workshop we did various types of activities that keeps the positivity going. We learned how to be positive if we were ever out of our comfort zone. We did a laughing exercise and we played a game where we think of various ways on how not wear an underwear and that made everyone positive. When it came to the end of the workshop we danced to keep the positivity and energy going.

The last workshop of the day was 'First Aid.' I really enjoyed this workshop as I learned a lot about how to save a life. I thought that this workshop was really helpful as it would help save a life in the future. We learned how to perform CPR, how to position someone in a situation and how to save someone from choking. 

My First Day of TY

         So far as a TY student, I'm enjoying TY. 

Rewinding back to the morning of the first day of school, I felt nervous and excited at the same time. I was nervous about not knowing anyone in my class but on the bright side I can make new friends and get to know them better. And my excitement was finally getting to see my friends again. On the first day, I felt like a first year again but throughout the day it got easier. I'm looking forward to what TY has in store for me in the future.
