This year my Work Placement teacher Shane Murray came to my house and we sat down for lunch before we went off to the library where I did placement at the time.

Dante Phyllis Ashton-Harrison

I am all over the place - a traveller with the Circus.

My personal interests are performing, reading and training.

Three words that describe me are ambitious, outgoing and hardworking.

My plans for 2019 are travelling/working! Hopefully working overseas.

In five years I would like to be happy and content with what I have achieved. I want to be at university studying Marine Biology or working on cruise ships.

A memory of SIDE that I will take into my future is my Mondays at SIDE, throughout years 9 to 11, I visited SIDE every Monday. I would sit in that library at the same desk and wait patiently for my teachers to come and visit me. I would roam up and down those bookshelves looking at each book, trying to find one I hadn't read. I remember so many happy times in that Library, from chatting with the teacher librarians to calling the IT guy down to fix my computer because Moodle wasn't working. All these little things contribute to what SIDE is and always will be for me. It was a place I honestly loved. I would walk down that brick paved path into reception, grab my name tag and look forward to seeing familiar faces. It wasn't just school to me, it was a place where I felt welcome and where my ideas were taken into consideration, where my teachers from grade 7 or 8 would still recognise me and come over and say hi. I will always remember my Mondays at SIDE; they were the best days and I am forever thankful for the memories.

My advice would be to always keep in contact with your teachers! You have to remember that you should be proud of anything you do. If you weren't happy with a mark still be happy you did it; be proud of your work! At the end of the day it is just a number and if your happy with what you have submitted then don't be upset over it; think of ways you could have improved, move on and start your next task!

Oh, and don't fall behind! It is the worst feeling not being able to contribute in Saba because you haven't done your readings!
