Jai

Hey!!!

My name is Jai Garrick, I am 17 years old and from Aberdeen in Scotland .I am in my last year of school at Oldmachar Academy and then hoping to study Social Work at RGU University. I want to do social work as I love helping people and want to try to make things better for people. Nobody from my school has been involved with Learning School before and I am hoping that in the future they will be a part of it. It is a great experience and is also good for the school as they can find out about other schools and ways of teaching. I love traveling and also enjoy learning about other cultures which is another reason I was interested in learning school. I think that by living with host families in the different countries I will be able to learn a lot more and see exactly what living in different places is like.

I have just joined learning school in Australia and will only be with them for a few months as I need to be at school for my exams. Coming in late to the group has not affected me as they are all so nice and we get on really well, which will help us get more done in the schools. I have only been here for a few days and I’m already having a great time and have been seeing that schools are so different everywhere. So I know we will see lots of interesting things in each school. To let you know a little bit more about me I love listening to music and of course dancing!!! I am very sociable and enjoy meeting new people, another thing which will happen in learning school. I have a dog named Wilder who I love and treat more like a little brother than a pet…I miss him already but this will be such a great experience that it will be worth missing him for a few months. So another thing I enjoy is taking him for long walks! I do Art and Design at school which is one of my favourite subjects, I like to design/make things and do lots of crafts!

So anyway that’s a little bit about me and why I’m here. Bye!!!
