When education, education, education isn’t necessarily right

19th March, 2010 by Webmaster

I spent my entire life knowing that I wanted to be an
actress. I was going to study acting at my dream university and then go to some
posh London drama school. A year into my A-levels, the dream was still the
same, but the location had changed: I was going to study in New York. A summer
programme in France with an American acting school took me completely out of my
comfort zone and made me want to study in a completely different environment.

As I sit here writing this, everything has changed.
Unfortunately, for medical reasons I was unable to study acting in New York, so
while all my friends were applying to British universities, I was sitting at
the back of the room, bored, listening to the seven millionth lecture on how to
write the perfect personal statement.
