First overseas trip

New School
I started at Westminster in year 5 after spending 5 years of my schooling life in Port Lincoln. This contributed to my social and emotional development.

Emotional, in that I needed to move cities and say goodbye to all of my friends in Port Lincoln. -
Diganosed with Child Migranes
Being diagnosed with Child Migranes at age 10, probably only contributed to my emotional development. Being diagnosed with child migraines made me feel sad because I knew that it was a permanent part of me and that there wasn’t a lot that I could do about it. It is still a problem for me today, but I have a much better way of controlling it and making sure it doesn’t get too bad. -

Camera was stolen
During the music tour in 2012, my Nikon camera that I payed with my own money was stolen out of the bus in Eindhoven. This affected my emotional development because it was something that I worked for and made me very upset. Europe was such an amazing experience. So many up’s and down’s but I learnt so much and saw so many amazing things. Getting my camera stolen obviously wasn't the most amazing experience but after that, I was a lot more careful with my belongings. -
Got my first job

Having to talk to customers and other employees definitely has a huge impact on how you present yourself and how you talk to people. You learn those personal skills and also skills about working in the workplace. -
Getting Braces
Getting braces would probably have only contributed to my physical development because the shape of my mouth and teeth are changing and still are. -
Chose SACE Subjects
Choosing my SACE subjects is obviously a very big part of school and is very important. It contributed to my emotional and cognitive development. -
Getting my L's/Turning 16
Getting my L's/Turning 16 would probably have only contributed to my emotional development. In that turning 16 is a milestone in one's life, like turning 18 or 21. Getting your L's also gives you something with your name on it and allows you to do something you wouldn't have previously been allowed to do.
