If you think students spend all their spare time avoiding studying, going out with their mates and having a good time then you'd be right. Well our student bloggers do anyway. While they assure us they don't slack on the study, they've got a lot to answer for when it comes to enjoying themselves while volunteering.

From the classroom to a retreat centre

Hi everyone, my name's Emma and I am seventeen years old. I live in Lancashire but my birthplace is Liverpool.

I live at home with my mum and dad I am in my first year at college studying for my A-Levels. My favorite subject is Philosophy. After college I hope to attend university to study for a degree in Philosophy and Theology. I aim to teach Philosophy one day. I enjoy writing, reading and learning. I also enjoy shopping and of lots of volunteering!

I also enjoy my voluntary work and as soon as my summer exams have ended I hope to increase the time I have to volunteer! I am currently working with young people with disabilities both in and outside the classroom environment and hope to learn more about youth work and teaching during my time volunteering. I am hoping to attend retreat centre in order to enhance my experience and understanding in the summer holidays. In September I aim to complete a course in youth work and German (hopefully) as I have a pen friend in Germany whom I write to regularly.
