I still haven't decided what I want to be when I'm a grown up yet! And I'm 43! But everything I do seems to be a natural progression from the thing before and I love learning new things so I'm always moving on, up, anywhere.

My kids are now at the school i went to over 30 years ago which was strange on the first few days but now it's their school, not mine.

I felt exactly the same the other year, when I went back into the hall at my old school.

It was like being fourteen again, except that I knew what amazing, and not so amazing, things lay in store for me.

Seize the day, just don't forget about yesterday...or tomorrow.

Yeah well as you know i have had a pretty sudden change of heart in my career lately.
I love working with children teaching them new things watching their faces light up as they finally "get it " or do something new for the first time. I have done it for 10 years plus and all of a sudden I just dont want to do it anymore. Its not the working with the children bit i would do that until the cows come home - i just feel trapped in a building - you used to be able to take children out to the park for the day or at least on a walk and we have lost that side of things to "risk assesments" its so sad -the red tape has taken the fun side out of it for me and it is suffocating i am not really someone who likes being in the same place all day I was brought up in the fresh air surrounded by fields - I dont know ...but any way ...
I am now going to do an honours in graphic design . which is slightly different lol but Iknow what you mean
but you obviously have the ambition that those bored looking people dont and their job maybe has become unchallenging and mundane.

I remember the first time I went back to The Holy Family (Mt Carmel), I left in 63 and didn't go back until around 1990, it seemed so different than I'd remembered it, and I went in to the staff room something I didn't manage all the time I was there

It's weird at first isn't it? My kids go to the primary school that I went to 20 odd years ago....a couple of the same teachers are still there too!

That must make them feel really old haha.

When I left I was in 5A, Dessy Mulderrick was our History teacher, in 3 year, but we had to choose between History and Geography in the 4 year for GCE and I picked Geog, My last form teacher was Denis Cassidy, our 3 year form teacher was Fred Smithies, 4th year was Mr Monks, the Science bod. I came accross Mulderick quite a lot in the late 70s early 80s when I lived in Hassy, used to bump into him quie a lot has he lived there also, much nicer out of school than he was in
