A letter to myself- Leo

 

To Leo

 

As you begin the third form, you are bound to have a lot of questions. Coming from a school as small as St Kents, grammar will seem like an almost impossible task, however with this advice you should be fine.

Firstly, don't stress out. One thing that you are bound to do is not realise that everyone is on the same boat. All five hundred boys are equally as stressed as you, and they are all sitting the same exams as you. You may not realise but if you put on the hard work, no matter where you begin, you can achieve great things both academically and musically. So in the end, you can achieve great things if you don't stress and put your mind to things.

Then, go with the flow and don't over think things. As I'm here on India immersion, I have had time to sort out my priorities and think about what really matters. In third form, you will have your eyes on Med School, and you will start to base your subject choices on that. However, what you must realise is that what really matters is your enjoyment. If you don't enjoy the subjects that you are doing, change them, and do what you want to do. As that way you will get the most out of school and have a greater chance at being successful.

So there are two things that will really help you be the best person you can be. I would tell you more however what's more important is that you do what you think is best in every situation, and judge things for yourself as that way you will develop to be the man you are today, and have a great couple of years.
