Official Year 10 Chat 2023-24

Hello everyone,
My name is Emmanuella from London going into Year 13 this September 2023, but I have made this thread because I have sat GCSEs before - so i promise most of the feelings and worries you have I would've also had during Year 10! but we are here to support and uplift each other during this year of secondary education - you can do this okay?!

here are a few icebreaker questions to introduce yourself:

1) name and where you are from
2) what subjects you are taking at GCSE
3) the grades you are hoping to get in Year 11
4) the latest netflix show/movie you've watched
5) your go-to positive/motivational quote or affirmation

Hiii!! My name's Isabella and I'm from London

For GCSE I'm taking:
- English lang
- English lit
- Maths
- Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (triple or double science is decided at the start of Y11 in my school)
- R.E
- Geography
- Spanish
- Art

In Y11 I'm obviously hoping to get all 8s and 9s but I'll be happy as long as they're all 7+

I'm watching Brooklyn 99 on Netflix but I'm more actively watching The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video and I recommend it so much!!

Finally, a motivational quote is, "Living is the art of getting used to what we didn't expect" - Eleanor C. Wood

I don't know if this is the right place to talk about this but I want to know how to find/apply for work experience because even though our work experience is in July, a lot of my friends have already sorted theirs out and they said that places run out quite quickly. I want to do something software engineering/comp sci related but don't know exactly where to find that stuff.
