So you want to take the time to find out about me eh?!? Well, I'm a 22 year old random Leo lady; 5'something"; brunette; cow brown eyes (that's how my family describe them); athletic build with 3 piercings (ear lobes, top of the left ear and tongue). My tongue piercing was my 21st birthday present off of one of my best friends, Caz. I'm currently living in West Molesey with my other best friend Siâ and the rest of the Smith family.
As yet, I have no tattoos but I've wanted a lion tatoo since I was 18, I'm just waiting to find the perfect lion .
I was born in Kingston, moved to Bromley and then moved back to Kingston to go to university. I've got a BSc(hons) Sports Science degree. I've recently ended my job working for The Royal Borough of Kingston, in the Children's Fund team as an 8-12 Activities Worker.
I used to work with vulnerable kids between the age of 8-13, it's was damn hard work but I loved it because I could act childish 5 days a week (still a big kid, the female version of Peter Pan!). During the school year I helped to operate 4 youth clubs around the Kingston borough that run under the name 'Splash' and during the school summer holidays I helped to operate a summer activities scheme called 'Junior Splash'. I loved the job and the young people but unfortunately I have recently moved on to get closer to my dream of becoming a PE teacher (it's all I've wanted to do since I was 11).
I started working at Brooklands College for the Learning Difficulties Department in Weybridge in late September 2006 teaching Netball and filling the rest of my time with LSA (Learning Support Assistant) hours. I was originally working for Brooklands and the Children’s Fund but in January 2007 I got my dream opportunity to start my teaching career (teaching Sport and Literacy). Since then I have been working with young adults who have physical disabilities, learning difficulties and/ or emotional/ behavioural difficulties. I can’t admit to it being easy, but it’s very fulfilling (which I have to remind myself of every time I sit up into the early hours of the morning planning lessons and making resources). I also work over on the mainstream side of the college lecturing Sports and Exercise National Diploma and Higher National Diploma students in Sports Injuries and Fitness Components (again, not easy when the student’s are practically the same age as me). I'm going to start my PGCE course in September (the light at the end of my 'education' tunnel).
Working at Brooklands has also provided me with an opportunity to put my FA Level 1 Coaching Qualification into good use and as well as assisting the coaching of the SLD team at Brooklands, I have also recently started coaching Chelsea Ladies Learning Difficulties Football Team (it’s early days, but all good fun).
I would describe myself as sporty, innocent (hmm, honest?!?), fun, mad and friendly (I know that anyone who knows me would probably add stubborn in there too but it's a good type of stubborn - Me? I'm not stubborn! Not much else to know about me. Nothing thats important anyway!
This is the tatoo that I want to get. I want to make a few changes to it but I think it'll be on my body with-in the next couple of months!

Baby Girl:
'Baby Girl' a nick name that means more to me than Meisha Mush, not everyone has the right to call me 'Baby Girl' and very few can get away with it!!!
Somerset Road Trip:
Ok, so it some how 'randomly' happens that Mush , Shiney and Howie go on a mega road trip to somewhere further than Roehampton Asda or Shannons Corner Tescos... they go all the way to Howie's home in SOMERSET singing 'Sexy Love' by Ne-Yo at the tops of their voices in the best little red car ever (a.k.a Winnie). Mush stays with Shiney at her family friend's house and not only do they look after us, feed us, provide us with real Somerset cider and show us around... oh no! They had 2 lovely young girls (Millie & Ana) that kept us occupied with a lot of fun by letting us play on their trampoline (BIG MISTAKE) !!!!! On the last day Ana "kindly" captured the fun we had on Mush's mobile phone... (*may take a few secs for each video to buffer*)
Somerset Fun begins...
Random fun on the trampoline... Mush doesn't land the first sommersault but tries to make up for it with other skills! Shiney's shoulders start to hurt (notice the random stretching & cries of pain) before she tries kung-fu on the Mush (she should know better )! Shiney bravely continues and tries to land her sommersault in the complete opposite direction to where mush is spotting (very clever Smith) . Millie then joins in on the 'sommersault landing' fun!!! And yet again Mush can't land her sommersault... You couldn't get closer to landing a sommersault if you tried! Ana spins the camera round to say hello!
Somerset fun continued...
Shiney with sore shoulders (notice the shoulder rotation technique) nearly landing her sommersault after minimal training... go on the girl! Notice Mush 'spotting' and coaching ("Get height, tuck your chin in and keep tight Shiney")!!! ;) Safety first peops!
... and Siân wonders why she's got a sore back 2 weeks later!!!!
Mush has landed...
I didn't mean to drop Shiney and as for the bouncing... it was fun . Mush lands her fab sommersault 3x straight (about bloody time), while Millie took a trampolining lesson off of Shiney (copying Mush's coaching techniques... never a good idea !) A quick look at Raven the dog and the rabbit!
Catch me if you can...
Wehaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
Brent Knoll...
One quiet day, Meisha and Siân decided to climb (yes I said climb) Brent Knoll (it was one small step for man and Mount Everest to me and Shiney)!!!
On the way up we met some "Moo Moo's"
The View from the top was awesome
Siân put on her binoculars to get a better view
To our horror, we had been followed... by a "Ginger"!!!
(Remind you of anyone?)
My University Days:
Football:
Football has always played a big part of my life, I have been a Millwall FC supporter for as long as I can remember (massively influenced by my dad) and a close follower of Liverpool FC (as my Mum's side of the family originate from Liverpool). When I was 13 I went on to play for Millwall Lionesses (making the family proud), I've played for the Centre of Excellence and was Captain and President of Kingston University Ladies Football Club in my final year as a student. I also attained my FA Level 1 coaching badge while at Uni. Since leaving Uni I get to play a bit of football at work with the kids but not to the extent I'd like. I hope to join a local (friendly) team in the near future!
This video sums up why I'm proud to be a Millwall supporter (despite our position). I always feel at home at the Den. Smelling the weed, hearing the chants and feeling the atmosphere! All one big happy family! YOu don't have to be a Hooligan to be a Millwall supporter! Millllllllllllllllwallllllllllll!!!
No One Likes Us We Don't Care!
