From Head of Secondary

hoices are the building blocks of our lives and every new day
brings with itself new opportunities. Whether you decide to
Cgo to college or travel to foreign lands alone — remember it’s
your choice! It always has been. Therein lies the rub. Many of us
hesitate to even make a choice, thinking we’d be better off where we
are instead of delving into the unknown. Exercising this powerful
tool just doesn’t get you what you desire – it empowers you to be
different. Struggling to make ends meet, single mom Joanne Rowling
dared to be different! Six books and 10 years later, Harry Potter is
a household name. Bill Gates, one of the best-known entrepreneurs
of the personal computer revolution made the choice to pursue
philanthropic endeavors and eradicate polio, with the same drive he
brought to Microsoft. They all chose to tread the less travelled path.
From the crazy to the cool, the serious to the silly, there are tons
of ways to make a living. From the moment we enter the portals of
education we start learning how to make decisions. You can choose
what you want to do with your life or just accept whatever comes
your way. The present is a gift you need to make the best of, and the
core of your future comprises each and every decision you have ever
taken.

Dare to be different and exercise your choice to do what’s right, min
the end that was the choice you made, and it doesn’t matter how
hard it was to make it. It matters that you did.”
“Cassandra Clare “
