Having said I would not be posting on this blog as much, I thought I would just post something on the recruitment day in Leeds that happened yesterday. Being a Leader for the last year has been a rollercoaster and this is what I told the candidates. This isn't to say that the experience is something that you shouldn't do. Nevertheless, it was good to see a candidate from my neck of the woods, Darlington. In the middle of interviews, I found myself agreeing with a lot of what she said about the area, especially in relation to campaigning. Unfortunately, given I was interviewing, I couldn't actually express this agreement but it will be good to see what she does next year.
The day was a great opportunity to meet some already inspirational people but also to catch up with some of the current leaders and staff. It will be a shame to not have the buzz that Team v gives in the coming year but I am looking forward to Graduation in just over a months time. It's a chance to celebrate and it should be good. Keeping on the subject of Team v, however, more on "Routes to Roots", the results video is out and I have put it in below. Despite a reduced number of events, we still made a significant change and you can see that in the video.
On another subject, I think it is only right that I should pay tribute to those who have volunteered for Le Tour Yorkshire this weekend. I did apply myself but it was going to be a bit hard to do that and Team v Recruitment. Nevertheless, I am still on track to meet my challenge of getting to 500 hours by the end of the summer holidays. I am currently on 455 and therefore, have 45 to go. Doing hours at Oxfam and my writing, I should get those in no time at all (sort of).
Backbench Cabinet
I have been writing as part of the Backbench Cabinet the last 6 months but my time is up. I will continue writing on the subject of education but not in that role I was in. If you have not seen my articles, then please take a look here I also did a piece on Routes to Roots earlier in the campaign here. I hope you like it and any comments on any of my articles or posts on here are appreciated.
I should be doing a few articles on the benefits and links between employment and education and the transition between those two things. It's a subject I would like to investigate and should keep me occupied over the holidays. I have 8 weeks left. It should be a challenge to keep myself occupied. I will keep you posted and i will have to total up my hours at the end of the 8 weeks and let you know. Wish me luck!
