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.

A-Levels are hard

Hi all - hope you are well

The new term is getting started now and the new cadets are beginning to settle into the group quickly, with everyone doing their best to make all feel welcome. The new courses have been decided - Film and Photography and Casualty Simulation. Two very differnt courses for the cadets to choose from, which should keep everyone happy and help them on their way to their Grand Prior (the top award).

I have started sixth form at my school now, which is really hard. I am taking five A-levels; Law, Psychology, English Literature, Biology and Gereral Studies. Which means lots of essays - which means less time to work on St. John and look for new adult memebers. :(

I am also working towards my Millenium Volunteers Award, which will give real recognision for my volunteer work, help to publisise St John and hopefully gain more members and help my university personal statemenet. So it's really a win win situation - except for the fact i loose free periods at school and it takes a lot of work. But if it keeps the cadet division running it's worth it, as the current lack of adults situation does not appear to be getting any better all the publicity we can get is very good.  

Until next time...
