Today I spoke to Holly who is also hoping to to Journalism at Lincoln this year. Holly's aged twenty and has taken two years out before deciding on coming to study here. One of the reasons for this was that she didn't know if it was what she wanted to do, feeling the pressures of sixth form life and not wanting to make the wrong decision. For her A-levels she studied English Literature, Media Studies and History as well as French at AS level. After attending an open day for Lincoln two years ago she felt that this would be where she wanted to go if she did decide to attened university in the future.
During Holly's time out of education she went to Denmark for a year, where her family are originally from. Whilst she was there she worked with underprivlidged and orphaned children, aged between three and eight, teaching them conversational english as well as helping to build their confidence. In her second year out she has been spending her time working to gain some money to help finance her time at university so that she doesn't end up 'in the shit'.
In her spare time Holly enjoys going to raves whilst defying the stereotypes of the strong drug presence by being completely anti-drugs.
