Gemma Wilcox, 17, has just finished her A-Levels at North Westminster Community School, London.
I've got loads of plans for the summer. Ive just finished doing my A-Levels in English Literature, theatre studies and Spanish and Im taking a year off before I go to university.
Im going on holiday to Cornwall with my boyfriend and his parents for a couple of weeks. Then Im going to Tipperary in Ireland for a week with my dad and auntie.
When I come back Ive definitely got to get a job because Ive got no money. Hopefully Ill get a job in a bookshop. I worked in one for about a year but it closed. I didnt want to get a job when I was in school, especially near the end, because I had to revise. If get a job I also hope to go abroad with three girlfriends.
When its nice weather I love going to the heart of London. I like being in Covent Garden just walking around in the early evening when its buzzing.
Now that the holidays are here I can read all the books that Ive been dying to read for years Persuasion to start with. I hope to go to a few museums as well, especially the new Earth Galleries at the National History Museum.
Travel is what I really want to do. Im really looking forward to exploring different places. I think my year out will help me to make more of a decision about what I want to do.
But if I dont get the marks to go to Leeds University I havent got a clue what Ill do. They want A, B, B, I dont know whether to retake my exams or jut try to get into another university. Ill just have to see what happens.
