This Thursday marks the end of an era for me- I officially finish high school. After five years, of tears, tantrums and togetherness I have reached the start of my life.
When starting high school, I chose to go to an all girls school, now I know what you must be thinking- how can I have made such a decision? But in all honesty, it was one of the best choices I have ever made. I wanted to go somewhere completely different from my peers to essentially 'find myself' and I think it is safe to say that I have 'found myself'.
At first it wasn't easy, as I was so used to mixed classes and beating the boys at sports however as I made friends things got easier for me. I'm the type of girl who would rather play football then apply some lip gloss, I don't know why but it's just who I am. I have met some awesome people who have become not only friends for life but some of them I consider as siblings. It's those relationships that make school life easier.
I've had the same form tutor for five years- Simon. Simon has been a pleasure to work with. He's charisma and consideration just oozes from his personality. I know that he has had it tough but he's never lost hope or given up on anyone, for this I think that he is the best teacher I have had. If you are reading this Simon, I hope that you keep calm and carry on smiling. Don't let the stresses of life pull you down because you are stronger than that.
As I take my final exams, I look back on my life and think 'wow, you've made it'. I've had incredible support from my family, friends, teachers and tweeters which I cannot begin to thank you enough. It's the wisdom and advice that has help me overcome difficult situations. I will do my very best in all that I do as that is all I can do. I shall keep you all updated on further opportunities life brings.
For any questions, feel free to Tweet me @NatashaK18.

Samantha Brick
Recently, Samamtha Brick wrote an article called 'Women are jealous of me' the article was about Samantha explaining why other women are "jealous" of her because she is beautiful. I'm not going to start slating Samantha as I think that everyone is beautiful no matter what you look like and no-one can ever tell you different.
Samantha claims that men go out of their way to impress her by paying for her train ticket and buying her champagne because of the way she looks. I do agree that your looks can get you very far however this depends on how you use your power. Someone shouldn't be somewhere because they are pretty or because they think they are superior from someone. Someone should be where they are because they have worked hard to get there and have done there best in life. If you're beautiful and have minimum intelligence then you know what the correct job would be however most intelligent people get under looked due to their appearance. I think the reason for this is because we all have the regular stereotype of "nerds and geeks" wearing glasses, having spots, greasy hair and braces. This image needs to be scraped I mean look at Carol Vorderman she is one beautiful woman who has achieved an incredible amount and is a humble woman.
The only thing that I agree with was when Samantha stated that "women are offended by other women that are prettier than them." I can admit that even I envy girls who are prettier however it's not because I am jealous is the fact that they use their power in the wrong way- they use it to manipulate people and use people. Being able to recognise this just makes me and other people better than them. Not all women are threatened by prettier women, this can be taken into desperate measures and is a perfect example of teenagers self- harming and suffering from anorexia. Gaining confidence and self-esteem can be increasingly difficult to build especially for young girls.
I think that we just all need to remember that regardless of your intelligence, age, race or culture you ARE beautiful and any one is lucky to have you in their life.
