*Before you read this I would like to say I wrote this about two weeks ago and its only being posting now because I wrote it for the spider awards and the entry lines are now closed*
Blogging is something I've become very found over the past few months and before I start telling you all about my blog i would first like to thank somebody for telling the class about the spider awards. Without the kind and enthusiastic help of this person I would of sent off 300 boring words (may add maturity of them were most likely I, it, we, happy, good and etc…) about my blog. She helped immensely and I would to thank her for making my boring thoughts somewhat relatable.

So without future Aude this blog is to Mrs. Ward to thank her for all shes done to help me put my best foot forward in the competition!
I started my blog on the 1st
of September 2015 in my first double IT class as a TY student in St.Wolstans C.S. It was compulsory for all the transition year students to start a blog and try keep up to date with most of the blog challenges set by the IT team. Every month a list
of tasks are given and we are asked to post a blog on what we enjoy doing. The
range of topics is deliberately wide and inclusive so that all budding bloggers
would access and focus on an area which is interesting to them and suitable to
their writing register and style.
On my blog I’ve posted about
where I want to go when I leave school, mental health issues, my work
experience, the school fashion show, a drama competition, the Oscars and much
more! Some people took to the task of blogging with a positive attitude and
others fell behind on challenges which left them struggling to grapple with new
topics coming down the line. From the
outset I found that I enjoyed this aspect of my TY experience and approached
the on-going challenge of this format with some enthusiasm. I enjoy blogging very much to my surprise! It
amazes me that this medium is so accessible and natural to me.
I am struck by the ease with
which I express my thoughts and insights and I would recommend this writing
genre to others who want to improve their writing confidence and ability. When I post I don’t fear the misspellings
being noticed because I know I’m nowhere near being a professional writer - to me the personal nature of blogging
allows me latitude to write without reservation or awareness of the heavy hand
of red-penned correction. I think
blogging for me now is about learning how to do new things and get my opinion
out there. I remember in September I took a mental note of everything that was
happening just so I could post it all up on my blog. Even though my blog was
set up because my school said we had to I love finding time to just sit down
myself and the keyboard. Overall I enjoy blogging and I am very glad I started
because if it wasn’t for me doing ty and my school asking us to set it up I
would of never known how much fun it was.
Im just a teenage girl who
hates the thought of growing up but im doing it with a smile on my face and a
positive attitude. Once again I’d like to thank Mrs. Ward for everything she has done and I hope
you enjoyed reading! – Miss.Galligan! x
