100. What are your plans for the future? So as much as I'd love to stay at school forever, I know that this is unfortunately not possible, however, I have come up with a sneaky little plan to work around this; when I leave sixth form next summer, I want to go to University to study History for 3 or 4 years depending on whether I choose to study abroad for a year or not. Then I'd like to take a gap year to gain some work experience by going to volunteer in a school in Tanzania for a few months. Then the plan is to go back to University for a year to get a PGCE and then if all goes to plan, I would like to get a job back at my current school to teach History, so it all works out as a lovely little circle! I understand I may sound like the weirdest person ever, but my school is honestly incredible, and I'd love to give back to it in some sort of way.
