I'm at the time in my life where I feel like I know what I want to do in the future. The hard part is actually getting to that stage. I'm originally from a town called Shrewsbury and moved from there 5 years ago when I was 14. My dream now is to move back to Shrewsbury and continue education towards becoming a Primary School Teacher/Teaching Assistant.

Right now I am currently in my second year of my college course in childcare. At the end of this academic year I will have an Extended Diploma in Childcare and Education (or something along those lines). However, this course will only be acceptable in Wales which is no good as I am not a confident Welsh Speaker and because I want to move back to Shrewsbury my qualification will mean nothing. That is until I found a course at Shrewsbury College which is 2 years and part time and is a teaching course. I believe that this course is run by Staffordshire University which to me is kind of the same as going to University. I really need to research this more. If this is the case then I will feel like everything is coming together but the only thing stopping me is money. My plan for this year was to hopefully settle down with somebody and potentially get a flat together but that doesn't look like it will be happening anytime soon and I really do not want to live in a flat on my own.

If anyone reads this and has any suggestions of getting into teaching with the qualifications that I will have then I will be very grateful. I also have approx. 9 GCSE's at C or above and 2 E's and 1 C at A-Level.

Thank you x
