Joe (Year 12) tells us about an enrichment session he enjoyed: 

Kevin Ambida a former TWGSB student (Class of 2022) now studying law at Bristol, came in to talk to the whole of year 12 about his experience at the school and his journey from Year 7 all the way to Year 13.

He talked about his experiences throughout his school life, from the lows - varying from really struggling throughout his mock exams due to personal issues, to the highs of achieving triple A* in his final a level exams. Kevin communicated the importance of how his ride wasn’t always a smooth road, and this was particularly apt for us as a year group during a time when we have just completed our mocks. This really related to his audience and how there may be many more bends in the road for us all in these upcoming years, going into adulthood.

Kevin told us how he switched direction from his original career path where he was set on being a musician and producing his own music, to surprisingly studying law at university, after discovering his passion for the legal system. He said he was just as surprised about this news as his parents and teachers were!

Kevin talked with confidence and fluency about his life, but also made it clear that this wasn’t always the person in front of us. With the help of staff at TWGSB and other role models in his life, he discovered something that he disregarded in his earlier stages of higher education. His talk was very inspirational and a real motivator for the year group, thank you Kevin!
