Hi.

Hi.
I have never done anything like this before, so I would like to start by apologising in advance for me appalling English and writing skills.
I should probably start by introducing myself, I am Maddie. I am (at the current time I am writing this) 17 years old and in my second year of A-levels, studying BTEC Drama and History, my dream is to become an actress hence why I am doing a BTEC in Drama!Outside of college I love Music and play piano, guitar and I sing, I have a YouTube page if your interested where I do covers. If you have the chance please check it out! The link is  www.youtube.com/MadeleineWilliamsxxx (I know the name is awful but I made it when I was like 12......don't judge) so that's the formal stuff over!

I haven't the foggiest idea why I started this blog but I think it may have something to do with my mum. How my mum? Well 2 years ago my Mum became ill with a rare type cancer called Multiple Myloma and because my parents split up when I was very little it had always been just my Mum and I. I have great relationship with my dad but he has always lived quite far away, so because of this I effectively became her full-time carer (with the help of family and friends). After just under a year of fighting my mum lost her battle to cancer and she died on the 6th of march 2011. Since then, my life has changed considerably, not completely in a bad way though, I live with my best friend and her family, which is pretty awesome most of the time, but very different to what I am used to! I haven't quite worked out what this has to do with me wanting to start a blog but my mum definitely has something to do with it. I feel like this is a good escape from everything and a good way to share all my thoughts and opinions........on what? I am not sure of that yet! But I think it will come.So this is the start of what may last a month, two months or the rest of my life who knows but we shall find out!
Well that's the end of the.......introduction to my blog, if that's what you can call it! Thank you very much for reading this and listen to me waffle on, I realise how cheesy this all must have sounded. I am going to tell you that I am terrified of posting this as I am aware of how unbelievably awful it is, I was so close to giving up as I feel like you need to have an English A-level to write something like this but I have made myself carry on to the end! PERSEVERANCE.....! Anyway thanks for reading to the end and I will start posting properly soon!!!!
