New College?

by IgorAkineev @ 11. Apr 2008 - 05:19:38 pm

I go to a sixth form in Altrincham, and went to the connected senior school before that, and the prep school from the top infants before that (All 3 were boys only.) (No I'm not gay). I have spent 10 years doing with the same school routine and i am now getting sick of it. At my sixth form nothing has changed from my time in the rest of the school. I travel for an hour to get there, there is no-one in my year and often the year above on the bus, and i don't really like the people in the year below so its an hour of my life wasted sat listening to my I-pod. Boring. My friends are skipping at least a lesson a day, or just aren't growing up.. the banter in the last couple of months has become absolutely shocking so there's not much to enjoy at school. We still have to wear full school uniform, which they are really strict on, and the 9-3.30 days are driving me crazy.

I'm thinking i want to go to a college, and i have one in specific in my mind. It was the same one i debated going to in September but in the end decided against it because i only had 2 years left and thought if i didn't enjoy it i could last it out.. but i really am struggling. I'm not stupid, i get good marks but i hate going in.. there's no freedom. The college i have in mind has much MUCH better facilities (buildings etc.) than ours, you don't have to wear uniform, and there are girls there. It just appeals completely. Results are pretty similar.. and there is a bus route from the top of my road.
I am seriously thinking of just getting my head down, working through my final 4 weeks and the exams and then applying to go to this college in September for A2.

Its a pretty big decision i think, and i'm really not sure what to do, as every decision before this has basically been made by my mum and dad but its my life and im not planning on going to this college, dicking around and dropping out so im going to tell them tonight i think.

Any advice to give?

knowledge is power. truly .keep your options open .best wishes and a happy ne year ( very late ,i know.) do some tests to figure out your likes and dislikes regarding subjects and professions. elders comments are sometimes biased or based on little knowledge.

Random reader. Actually I have you on my blog feed as I found your posts interesting :o)

Erm, I'm a firm believer that this government are absolute bastards at brainwashing students into thinking that staying on in education full time is the only way forward. My advice would be to get out while you're not enjoying. By staying on you're not helping yourself, you're just helping the government. I left school after year 11 and I've been far more successful in work that any of my mates who seemed to want to stay on until middle ages!

There is a whole World out there and year 12 and 13 just delay it.

James
