A whole new level

Another week has gone by of Sixth form…

We had an assembly, and we got informed that we were already 25% into our AS level courses. When I heard this, I felt worried, shocked and surprised of how quick my life is slowly unfolding. I feel as though I have been in a bubble these last 7 weeks or so. Those 7 weeks have been an eye opener, if they have went by so fast, the remaining weeks leading up to our exams are going to speed by. Worried is an understatement. I am constantly told “Melissa, you’re always worrying”… I agree, I am always worrying, but it’s what I must do to make it clear in my own mind what I need to aim for. Perhaps worrying may not be the best way to express these feelings, however I know no other way.

My confidence definitely needs boosting…

We all live in one world

We all live in one world of six continents, inside these continents approximately 196 countries, harbouring masses of communities, all folding out into societies of people…



Anyone would expect theoretically the same world to consist of the same values, the same views, the same ideas. This however, despite geographic knowledge isn’t the case. Philosophically the world is divided by a diversity thesis within cultural relativism… Individuals' morals are inherited by history, passing down through generations, and in some cases distorting at times of progression. Each being has their own personality whether expressing a persona to impress or to satisfy their society and even families. The differences within the world are endless: appearance, belief, expression, faith and morals. No two are ever the same.

"I am a part of all that I have met."  ~Alfred Lord Tennyson. What we know is what we are comfortable with, what we choose to know is what we persevere with. We daren’t explore the unknown, otherwise our familiarities will no longer be, but interfered. We have our liberty, but daren’t advance over it. The world is one which is endless, but it has to stop at a point, we may choose to explore but limiting ourselves to where we feel safe.
