21/05/2012 - 27/05/2012 - Bad Impressions

Recently this week, two more exams have come my way, my last politics and first law. Politics lessons are now over. And I officially leave school for good in a month, my leader of sixth form wasn’t too happy, she is not convinced about my career choice. Even though I told her that I’ve had a letter back from the MP’s office telling me to phone them for chat. I phoned but no reply for me yet, if not I shall chase up. I am not going to give up, one thing about me, I always get what I want.

14/05/2012 - 20/05/2012 - Exam time

 Exams, the one thing that fazes me, the butterflies in the stomach, the twiddle of the pen and the special flooring to minimise noise. I had my first government and politics exam this week, and it was rather scary stuff. All I have to remember is that I tried my best and whether my best is good enough will be another issue altogether. As you may be able to tell, exams are not my strong point. I love school, I love learning but just can’t seem to pass anything. It gets me down but it won’t let it stop me.

07/05/2012 - 13/05/2012 - Unfair Advantage

New update, the Conservatives now rule in a minority with my Council. My friend, the candidate still did not get through. There was only around 40% of the population voting in my constituency with around 50% in my ward. My ward is in two halves, and let’s says one is rather disadvantaged (who don’t tend to vote). My candidate friend helps the disadvantaged area where the Labour helps the other half, therefore gaining the votes. It’s a shame, but I shall support him and fingers crossed for next year. Meanwhile, my exams start next week. Not feeling all that confident.

30/04/2012 - 06/05/2012 - Election Time

As with much of the country this week is the council elections. Thursday 3^rd May, my first ever day of voting as well as many others. Some other cities also have a vote to see if they want an elected mayor like London. To be honest, I think that it would lead to more devolved power to other places, therefore taking more powers away from Westminster which isn’t always a good thing I don’t think. Our Council is currently hung; the Conservative candidate that supports me was beaten by Labour. It was an unfair vote, which I will explain later.

23/04/2012 - 29/04/2012 - Hopeful thoughts

So, update of this week, I replied to the letter from the MP which was pretty awesome. I attempted not to sound desperate as for him to help me but you can’t ask for help and not sound desperate. Next is also the mad preparations for my Government and Politics and Law AS levels which is just under a month. I don’t have that great of record for passing exams but I am determined to actually pass this year. It might be handy for the future. I’m doing A2 English Combined, but people arn’t interested in that, just the politics.

‘I’m on the edge, of glory...’

16/04/2012 - 22/04/2012 - Background Info

People have been rather supportive, surprisingly, I half expected them to laugh in my face thinking I wasn’t capable but that’s only been a few. The most encouraging is a Council Candidate who is hoping to be elected this year on my Boroughs Council. He’s been taking me to public meetings and just e-mailing to see what’s up with me. It’s the little things that count but its support all the more. It was him that got the MP to send the letter. Which was a very nice thing indeed for him to do off his own back. I think.

‘Teenage dreams in a teenage circus...’

09/04/2012 - 15/04/2012 - It's a sign!

After getting over my wonderful 18^th Party I had a week to relax and gather my thoughts. I got put into A Level Law by accident and somehow loved it, I didn’t pass but decided to retake along with Government and Politics. I didn’t think much of being a politician until I visited the Houses of Parliament then I’ve not been in so much awe in my life. It was then I decided. A letter arrived a day after from the House of Commons, my MP had written to wish me Happy Birthday. Is this another sign? Who may know?

‘Gotta keep on movin’ on anyway...’

02/04/2012 - 08/04/2012. Welcome to my life.

Hello and welcome, I’m Hannah and as you may have guessed I want to be a politician. First, just make this clear. I’m not rich, I’m not overly smart and I’m not from a great, care free background. I’m just me, and that’s all I have to say on the matter.

On the 7^th April I had a birthday, a rather important one as a matter of fact. I turned 18 years of age. This means I can drink, smoke and marry without permission. But best of all I can be an active politician. Let us see how this unfolds...
