As written by her ..
I have chosen to study English and Drama because they have always been my favourite subjects. I love all things musical theatre and love to watch musicals/plays/see bands playing.
. I enjoy going out and socialising, whether that be, going for meals, going to a pole dancing class or clubbing , so PAs who arenot only prepared to, but looking forward to, supporting me with the social aspect of student life are really important. I have a good sense of humour; I do not take myself too seriously! It's just really important to me that all care is undertaken in a discreet manor under
my instruction - I just want to get it done so I can continue with whatever I'm doing; my
personal needs shouldn't ever get in the way of living life!
I hope to find aerial classes that I can attend when at university and would need support to get there and supervisor while I take part.
