You are kind and selfless and you possess more knowledge and wisdom and talent that many of us could hope to gain in a lifetime. You are a true gem in such a complicated world.

I am excited to be moving on to new things but sad too.<BR/><BR/>Katelyn, in England, you go to secondary school at age 11. At 16, at the same school, you do national exams in 9-11 subjects (I'm doing 10.) Some schools have a sixth form so you can stay on, others don't and you have to move onto a Sixth Form College to do your A-Levels (national exams taken at age 18). Our school has a 6th form so I am going to that - some people are moving to Sixth Form Colleges elsewhere but most are staying at our school.Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531974234014953550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849330462339843015.post-39469917593068905302007-05-03T02:29:00.000+00:002007-05-03T02:29:00.000+00:00Again beautiful words and images.

The sweet grows though, and it's fun discovering new types of sweet. <BR/><BR/>Your school sounds like my old one.
