Today's 'Friday Focus' is on exams. ![]()
![]()
It's a stressful time for most students as they sit their GCSE's, A-levels and University exams, but please try to remember exams are not the-be-all-and-end-all. Remember, there is always another path, another opportunity, and it's not necessarily worse than your original plan, sometimes it's better! ![]()

Aside from academic success there are so many things that are important, your work ethic, ambition, a passion for what you want to do, self-belief, a positive attitude and most important of all patience. If things don't go to plan don't give up, give it time, you'll find a way. Remember, a grade on a piece of paper will not decide your future!![]()

There will be tea/coffee available to all and would suggest a small donation to Liberty Tea Rooms who are kindly allowing us the exclusive use of their cafe. Liberty Tea Rooms is in Hemel town centre with nearby parking at the water gardens carpark. It is a fabulous cafe, run by a lovely welcoming couple Kerry-Anne and Owen, and is the perfect venue for our group. ![]()

This group is for people who want to network with other neurodivergent people discussing work, life and all things neurodiversity related and we would particularly welcome people late-diagnosed/currently self-diagnosed who are starting to learn about neurodiversity at a later stage of life and want to connect to others who have had a similar experience. We will likely have activities such as board games and arts and crafts at some of our sessions and are certainly open to ideas from you, the community, about what you would like from the drop-in sessions.![]()
