We are going
to miss you
Zara Dodd! xoxMy name is Zara. I hope to be friendly, happy and easy going. I know that I can be chatty and very giggly but I am also still very shy. However, I can promise you that I will ALWAYS laugh at your jokes no matter how bad they are.I have my moments where I am in an awful mood but I don’t mind that. I don’t think I am ever particularly nasty. I will stand up for my friends and family though, I have no problem with that, but I also want to look after other people, I hate it when I see someone being picked on.I have a really big heart and I care about the people I love so so much, but I also care about everyone else that I notice and who leave me with something to think about. Obviously caring about people so much has sometimes really hurt me, the first boy to break up with me (when I was 16 and not 11) left me devastated, I felt like my world had fallen apart. After a little bit of time, I realised that it hadn’t and I look back on that time now and happily remember it, it will always be special.Another relationship I had with a person that I adored hurt me more than anything else I can remember. I will never forget the pain, and I’m sue my friends won’t forget the endless crying when I’d had too much to drink. But I am so much stronger now and I have picked myself back up with the help of some amazing friends and am more determined than ever just to be the person that I am.So in my life right now, I have just taken my A levels and am hoping to study English at either Glasgow or Loughborough University, but before that, I am leaving everything and everyone that I have ever loved behind and going to New Zealand for 12 months.I leave on 22nd August, just a week after I turn 18 and receive my A level results. That will be crazy week and I’m sure very very emotional.I am worried about leaving, it is always in the back of my mind how much I will miss everything here but I keep on remembering that ever since I can remember, I have always wanted independence and to go on and adventure that is completely mine.But I still have a few weeks here and I know that I will spend that time doing the things that I love with the people I love.
