Name: Charlotte Gadd-Henderson
Profession: I’m looking at getting a weekend job at the Designer Outlet until I go to university
Attended York High School: 2018-2023
Post-16 attended: York College
University or college? I’m looking at going to either, Manchester metropolitan, Chester or Worcester
Favourite subject at school: Geography, History and English Language
What I thought I wanted to do: I wanted to be an author
 What I ended up doing: I still want to be an author (I’m looking at doing a creative writing degree), I’m looking into journalism as a main career with writing on the side.
How I got here: I started looking at possible degrees and someone suggested it to me.
Most useful skill or character trait for my job: For writing, I will need to be able to use language and techniques effectively, I will also need to be able to give balanced views/arguments.
Top tip! Set boundaries with work (mainly homework) and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I found it really hard to keep up with everything last year because of the pressure I was putting on myself and I got almost no time to myself or to spend with my family and friends outside of college which really got me down.
