The determination our college students demonstrate when it comes to making the right decisions for them about how they live their lives, no matter what obstacles they encounter, impresses me every single day. Things are sometimes difficult and we sometimes forget that just living our lives when faced with opposition is an achievement worth celebrating in itself – so even if you’re struggling right now, remember that we’re all so proud of you and everything you’re doing, and we always will be.

In my time at Royal College Manchester, the most important lessons our students have taught me are the importance of regular high-fives, the fact that all my dance moves (which were cool once, I promise!) are now horribly passé, and the fact that being yourself in a world which isn’t always ready for you and which doesn’t always understand is one of the bravest things you can do. That even though there are often barriers and obstacles in your way, the journey is worth the struggle. And that no matter how low and frustrated you might feel, there’s always time to party with your friends.
