Leaving [Pre-blog]

Here go following our examinations toward our leaving this school and on account of the economy very few of us have jobs lined up and some are going to college instead and hopefully, we'll get jobs later. My folks always talk of how they were able to start a job in a day after inquiring but it seems to me this is a distant dream.
It's at moments like this you think about what in these years I've learnt and I think one the first things to say is I've learned to stand up for fair play, having a strong passion for looking out for other peoples welfare.
Although I have a lot of problems arising from my disabilities, I've managed to get a decent formal education when some professionals thought I couldn't achieve much, getting so far respectable grades in my subjects.
When I started this school I had a lot of problems most stemming from what I understand to be my overwhelming sense of being a girl trapped in a boys body with it's own identity and although it hasn't been easy, the more liberal approach to gender divisions here have helped me fit in better and the girls, from the Head Girl herself have done a lot to improve my self confidence, supporting me.
I'll miss here.
