Brr… hasn’t it been cold over the last few days? I stayed home from school today nursing all the symptoms of a cold. I usually go to school regardless if I’m ill or not. But it’s time I put my own health before my education.
During an English lesson yesterday, I interrupted the teacher so much with my coughing outbursts and sneezing that I was sent out. That’s when I knew I shouldn’t have been in school. Mrs. Cooke suggested I stay home and get myself better, and I can always catch up with work when I’ve recovered.
I’ve not really done much today. I’ve slept most of today and while I’ve felt really rough. Hopefully, I’ll be better for Ross’ 18th Birthday party on Thursday. I’ll be really disappointed if I can’t go, and I know he will too.
I’ve appeared in the local paper “The Rhondda Leader”. I gave an interview about the school trip to France last month, and I was not expecting anything to come of it. Then, on my birthday it was printed. That gave the article extra significance. I found a web link of the story earlier today:
Brave Leigh takes a leap of faith during France trip
I gave the interview because I wanted to inspire others, particularly disabled people. I wanted to show that they can achieve something if they try. I set myself a task, and I feel I've done it now.
Stay warm and safe readers.
