💭 To understand me a little better

Good to know about me
If I've gone quiet, it's marking, not mood.
My boundaries
Evenings and Sundays are family time.
What gives me energy
An early run before school, and a class that finally gets it.

💛 Things I love, can't get enough of, or have been dreaming about

Running socks or gym kit
Bright colours welcome.
A coffee-shop voucher
My one daily treat.

🙅 Things that aren't really for me

More chocolates and biscuits
The staff room is overflowing — but I'm in training.

⭐ A few of my favourite things

Favourite TV shows

The Last Dance — For the sheer discipline.

Favourite music & bands

Fela Kuti — Sunday mornings, full volume.

🧰 Tips & life hacks I can share

Lay your kit by the door the night before
You'll run far more often.

🧩 Problems I'm trying to solve — ideas welcome

A revision routine my Year 11s will stick to
What worked for your teens?
