Year 9

To sum up Year 9 I would say it has been a roller coaster, simple as that.

My group has grown up maybe that tiny amount over last summer so we have all come back to school more relaxed and easy going. There have been incidents, bad ones, where friendship limits have been tested such as when my friends got suspended back in September, when I got internally excluded in December and when there was once again a big fight between the same people.

I have an extremely close friendship yet gained more. I have made more friends outside my group, unintentionally and got closer to other people in the group who I wasn't necessarily as close as before.


I have seen a sun rise with my best friend, I have spoken to my family in South Africa and kept contact. I have lost a sort of family member who will always be missed. I have learnt that sometimes you need to be away from the people you love, but it doesn't mean you love them any less, sometimes it means you love them even more.

I have made best friends with certain new or old people that I just never realised were right there. My work this year has been better and I am proud of it but it does go down to my mentor Mrs B-P. Mrs B-P saw the diamond underneath my and she is polishing me until I shine and I can't thank her enough for her constant work that she does with me.



Looking back on my first official day of summer, this year really has gone fast. It may not have seemed like it when I was in the midst of it all. When I was at my very worst the day seemed to be dragging on for ever but when I have been having fun with my friends, the weeks are flying by. This year I think I have matured in a certain way as that I know now who I am and what I'm able to offer people. I have learnt how to walk away from something even though it hurts me so much. I have learnt not to push away the ones I love. I think this year has been a good year and I am who I am now because of it.
