Hi, my name’s Ashley. I’m 14, I like to skate and I’m from Nottingham. I’m studying for a Higher Diploma in Information Technology - I thought I’d give it a go because I like computers. I’m finding it really fun so far, it’s a lot more practical and I get to go to another college as well as my normal school.
I’m Sasha, I’m 14 and from Norwich. I’ve got a step-brother the same age who’s also doing a Diploma in Creative and Media, and two little sisters. I would say that I like to have a laugh, I’m very happy. I do lots of dancing and acting at a School of Dance and with the Norwich Theatretrain, which I love. It keeps me really busy! I would really love to become an actress one day.
I’m 14, into R&B and Hip Hop, and I live in London. I’ve got two brothers, both at Uni, and I live with my parents and grandparents. I’m doing the Higher Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment for lots of reasons. I’m really interested in architecture - my granddad used to work in it, and my dad’s practical too. I also thought a Diploma course would be more hands-on; as I’m not really an exam person I learn better by applying what we read about in the classroom to real life.
