Me and my arthritis, by Liz Sabin.

In June 2006 at the age of 16, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. At the time I was in the middle of my GCSE exams,which I completed and gained 6 Cs and a D. For over a year I had a swollen big toe on my left foot. I saw a lot of medical professionals (eg doctors, physiotherapists), but none of them knew what was wrong. It was only when my right foot became swollen that I found out that I had Arthritis, and then a few weeks later my right knee became swollen and I was told that had Arthritis in it as well.After being diagnosed I felt shocked and scared, but also relieved to finally know what was wrong with me. Now 18, I have also completed a home learning course. I was a Millennium Volunteer and through my involvement engaged with the Edge Learner Forum.

Jim Cereal Interviewed!

By Admin

Marty, Mark and Steph tracked down Street Artist Jim Cereal from One Trick Pony collective.

"Originality is massively important. With a lot of street art they try to be political and put a message across but I just put something up that looks cool.   I just like to make the place look nice!  

Brains over beauty? No its beauty over brains!

I learn more and more as I get older, to be proud of what I’m doing and not make excuses for it.

I used to say “I’m just doing this” or “I’m just doing that”  

Don’t say just!  

Say “This is what I’m doing, this is who I am!”   

That’s my new message, there is no just about it!
