Valerixia

I currently reside in Lancaster,which is shite. (unless you are coming to see me, dont fucking bother) but I am from the town of Darlington on the other side of the pennines. I know, I know, I've turned into a dirty southerner. Currently in my fourth year of a four year degree course in Teacher Training specialising in Special Educational Needs. (This is instead of being an english or art teacher.) SEN is to me, fulfilling, interesting and challenging. It makes me feel that I will actually be making a difference to peoples lives, hopefully a positive one! I will be working in a classroom for at least three years after I graduate next year, and then I am curently hoping to go abroad and do my Voluntary Service Overseas, teaching in third world countries for rent and food. Teaching a class of middle class white children in Blackpool is one thing, but I really feel a drive to get out into areas which are struggling and do what I can to help out. I believe that the way resources, opportunities and power are allocated in this world is very wrong and unfair. But that is my current plan. Goodness knows what will happen. Isn't that the point?I have a wonderful boyfriend, who I am utterly devoted to, and we share a dinky little house on the top of the hill next to the uni I am studing at.I am a hippy, a punk, a dirty mettaller, a goth, a painter, an artist, a writer, a dreamer, a teacher, a shop assistant, a snake handler, this list can grow and grow but it will never describe me.For I Am Val. Roar!
