Hi everyone!
I'm Yasmin and I've come here for some serious life advice.
I'm 15 (16 in a few days) , about to start year 12 and I'm quite an academic person.
I've been studying Arabic for five years and my mum suggested that I could stay in Somalia (Hargeisa, Somaliland) to learn Arabic and Somali for a year then I could return to education. I really want to go as I don't really know my culture very well and this is a perfect opportunity.
However I really don't want to miss a year of education, even if I will receive my GCSE results in a week. My brother stayed in Somalia for half a year. Before he left, he got Es and wasn't very good. When he began his A levels again he got A*AA, so that gives me hope.
I just don't want to be left behind whilst all my peers excel. I have until September to decide...
Sorry for the long post, please be nice with your advice
