Achieving all three of my awards (bronze, silver and gold) has massively boosted my confidence and allowed me to prove to myself that I am much stronger than I think I am. Challenges that seem impossible are not, they just requires more planning and determination.

I was the first girl ever at my secondary school to achieve the gold award, so this is a big achievement. I feel honoured to have achieved this and to have met the Duke when receiving my Gold Award.
