There is life after school!

It’s hard to believe that this time last month I was taking my final exams. Unlike most of my
friends, I decided not to go away but instead I’ve started helping out at the local homeless
shelter. It’s not full-time but I do go there every day. I’m really enjoying myself and I know that
this will also look good when I apply for university or a job.  Kylie

I’ve decided to go travelling for a few months. I’m not going to go to university until next
year and I’ll be spending the rest of my life working, so why not go and have fun now? My
parents aren’t too pleased because they think I should earn some money, but I intend to do
that while I’m on the road.  Rob

I’ve always wanted to be a vet, so I’m going to spend the summer doing work experience
at the local surgery. It won’t be paid but I think that I’ll learn a lot and it will help me when I
start my studies. With any luck I might be able to work there during the holidays!  Matthew

It’s really hard to know what to do. I mean, university isn’t for everyone and not everyone
wants to go travelling! So I’ve set up a blog with information about all the opportunities that
are out there. I’m writing it for people like me and I hope that it’ll be useful. I want to be a
writer, so I’m sure it’ll help me.  Sally

I love the idea of not knowing what’s round the next corner. My parents want me to study
law as they’re both lawyers but I know it wouldn’t be the right thing for me. They’ve never
taken risks and have always followed the sensible career path, so I think they’re finding it
very hard to understand me.  Deborah

Answer the questions.

1 Who wants to help other school leavers? Sally
2 Who is taking a gap year? Rob
3 Who is doing some charity work? Kylie
4 Who is excited about the future? Deborah
5 Who will be doing unpaid work connected with his/her future studies? Matthew
