I really like doing the practicals in chemistry. We have some really cool equipment to use. I've really enjoyed working as part of a team, setting up the equipment, and getting some fun, organic chemicals out at the end.

My next steps after post 16 is to go to Nottingham Trent University to study geography, which is both physical and human geography and hopefully have a job in conservation orf wildlife or something in that area.

In the year 11 to sixth form, I've changed a lot — I've matured, I've grown, and in this time I've been given a lot more responsibilities that have helped me grow up.
