This course will give me a base level understanding for the University course I want to do, and I find it very interesting. I enjoy coming to college and being in a new environment.
It’s good to learn about a new topic which I find interesting and is not available at school. After school I am hoping to progress on to Primary Teaching.
If you think doing this course will benefit you in any way, or your find the topic part interesting, I would say ‘do it’!Esme Fulton
