For the last week I’ve been around my friend Carrie’s because my parents have been on holiday in Spain. At school there have been quite a few things happening. The National Youth Festival for Music: we applied to be at one of their gigs and yesterday a letter came through saying that we had got through, which is great. Also, the Birmingham NEC gig: we did this last year and it was one of our biggest and best performances. They’ve invited us back this year and so hopefully that will be even better. 6th May
My weekend wasn’t exactly brilliant. I’m actually grounded at the moment. It’s not a laughing matter. I disobeyed my mum and lost her trust. I really regret doing that. I won’t say what I did because it makes me sound terrible. It’s nothing too bad but I lost my mum’s trust and I hate that.
On Friday night I worked, Saturday night I baby-sat, Sunday night I stayed at home. So, it hasn’t been that interesting. But it did make me realise that, however interesting your social life is, it's good to have a sit down and relax.
I’ve been learning about this new computer programme where you sing your songs into the computer and play your songs into the computer through computer files. It then prints them out on a musical score for you. You can also make your own CDs.
It costs a lot of money but I’m getting supported by the Jacqueline McGee Trust so I can buy this. It's quite expensive and my parents wouldn’t be able to afford it because I might have to go out and buy a computer to go with it.
I just want to thank the Jacqueline McGee Trust and the Rotary Club in Watton because without their support I wouldn’t have got very far. 14th May
This is going to be the last time that you hear from me because I’ve been really busy with my GCSE mocks.
What will I be doing in the future? I’m going to carry on with my job. It’s going well. I didn’t think that I would be able to stick a proper job but it looks like I can.
School? I’m just going to keep on going. I’ve been having some problems recently with sleep, but you’re teenager, you’re at high school, it happens. Hopefully in the far future I’d like to spend more time recording my own music because when I leave Wayland I’m not going to have Illusive behind me. I just want to say something that I think is really important.
If in ten years' time I was one of the richest women in the world, I’d like it to be because of my music and not my image. But for now I’m in Watton and I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. Hopefully my musical will get there.
My school, my friends, my family: you can’t give them any more credit. And my dad, rest in peace, he’s what got me here and I want to thank him for that. I also want to thank the BBC for letting me do this because it’s been an experience for me.
Hopefully you’ll see my name in lights in ten years. I’ll probably get back to you when things start slowing down a bit. Or maybe fame will beat me to it? I don’t know. Anyway, speak to you soon. Go back to Jade's first entry» |
