As this years Staff challenge for World Book Day I asked staff to offer some pearls of wisdom they wished they could tell their 16 year old selves.
19 members of staff offered up suggestions such as:
Carpe Diem - Mr. Horne
Asking for help is not a weakness - Dr.McNamee
Do not worry so much. You can do it! The world is not going to end tomorrow! - Mrs Wells
The idea came from "Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self", recently bought for the library, it contains letters from a range of famous people to their 16 year old self including Stephen Fry, Paul O'Grady, Alan Carr, Peter Kay, Debbie Harry, Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Yoko Ono to name but a few.
