The last term

The last term before the summer holidays is finally here. The term where exams are sat and for year 11s it is the last term we have as high school students. This final term is where we say goodbye to teachers and some of our friends. In this term we are bombarded with pressure and stress and we work our hardest to get to where we want to be.

The five years of high school feel like a dream. The years just flew by leaving us with memories. It feels like just yesterday we came into high school excited and nervous and now we find ourselves in the same situation as we move on to sixth forms and colleges. It is in this term everything starts to feel real. We are no longer little and soon the journey will come to an end and we will find ourselves in the real world.

With everything happen all at once sometimes forget to stop and enjoy the little time we have left. It can be difficult to keep calm but we if just pause and take a break it will be easier to carry on. Sometime we let exams, grades and expectations bring us down and we don’t realise that soon all of this will just be a memory so why not make it a good one. So as we go through the last term just remember that it is important to work hard to show everyone what you are capable of but also enjoy the ride.
