A difficult time to remember!

I could tell right from the beginning of summer twenty-ten that it was going to be a very different to past summers. In summer 2010 I have learnt a few very important life lessons and skills. My main aim from this summer was to return to school in year eleven as a much better person. And I myself believed I have reached that goal inside. Even if it doesn't show on the outside.

Right from the start of 2010, I knew it was going to be a difficult year. Especially in the summer. As in year ten I faced friendship break ups, loss of a close family member and the loss of a close meaningful relationship, which meant the world to me!

I now believe that if I could pull through this summer, I could do anything! This summer has tested my courage and my willingness to the maximum.

I visited beautiful places with amazing people and I even made a few friends along the way.

I personally think the love actually prime minister quote would explain how I feel right now!

'' I love that word "relationship." Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship; a relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country, but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that. ''


I am now ready for the beginning of the new ups and downs the world will throw at my weak spots. But also my stronger ones too! 


I don't think myself, that I could have pulled through this difficult time without my friends and family besides me. 


I feel the most important thing I have learnt this summer is, to carry on being who I truly am inside. And that close friendships, I need to learn to cherish, will be there to support me in my times of need and hopelessness! And I thank Miss Lizzie Mathews and Miss Becky Ryan for showing me that.


Bring on summer 2010 aftermath and summer 2011 in it's own time!
