Well, I'm the headgirl in my school, it's a nice position to be in, loads of prospects, I love it so much already, and I'm loving year 11 just as much...
I'm a bit of weirdo aren't I? My favourite year in secondary school is the one that's supposed to be the most arduous and the most strenuous. Truthfully, I can't really explain why I love year 11 so much, maybe it's the new wave of confidence that washes through me everytime I walk the halls as a senior, or it could be the way I'm constantly being challenged in new and exciting new ways, it could also be the way I'm forced to lay out all my cards on the table, be all that I can be.
I'm so giddy right now, you have no idea.
I'm not like most people, something I've really come to realise in this past year, it's like ever since I've surrendered my personality to Jesus, I finally know who I am, I have a true sense of self, I'm who I'm meant to be, of course I'm as flawed as can be, there's no doubting that, but the fact that I know that, the fact that my shortcomings don't frighten me half to death, that's something that makes me smile.
"Do I know my own real identity? My own real destiny? I am a child of God. God is my Father; heaven is my home; every day is one day nearer. My Saviour is my brother; every human is my brother too."So, today was my first day as a headgirl, I got formally introduced to the year group in assembly, I was nervous as anything but it felt natural. Even more proof that this is where God wants me to be in this season.
Today, I got to meet a journalist from The Independent, it was a lot of fun, very interesting, busy, challenging, but I love that aspect of what I do.
More and more, I feel myself growing into the kind of leader that I want to be; oddly enough, this whole "headgirl" thing has not caused me to be prideful, I'm just very happy, very content, and I have a great understanding of the school that I've been a part of for nearly five years.
