Well, well, this is the start of the new generation of bloggers. My name is Christian James, I am currently studying Education Studies at Swansea Metropolitan University, I can only imagine what your thinking? ‘why is a good looking boy like yourself in uni?’ Well as you asked I will go ahead and tell you this wild story.
I was a young lad studying my A levels at Morriston Comp but I had enough, I was fed up, I needed some money to fund my life style of p-a-r-t-y. So I left and went to find work in a local office being an office junior. In April of that year (2010) I was part of a group trip to Nepal to walk up Everest Base Camp, there I met a teacher and he told me about how awesome his job is and how much he loved teaching the children and the life style he has around his job. Then I had a thought, I didn’t want to work 9-5 in an office all my life, so I thought bugger it and I packed it in, and went ‘Back to school, Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool’ (Billy Madison) and finish my A levels. During this time I applied to a number of different job opportunities. I successfully got a job working for the National Autistic Society as a relief support worker which I found thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. I was successful enough in my A levels to go on the BA (Hons) Education Studies course at Swansea Met. That is the story of how I have got here.
Hopefully this course will set me in good foundations to be able to achieve my goal of becoming a primary school Teacher.
