Chapter seventeen part one

7DA

I may not have had much luck with my first college (Sparsholt) but I had a second chance at a new residential equine college.

I had always wanted to work with horses but Sparsholt wouldn't let me go to the equine college because I would've had to go from a learning disability course to a mainstream course; then I got kicked out.

This was going to be a good opportunity but I was nervous, I had to go to do a one-day assessment (1DA) and then if they liked me I'd go on a seven-day assessment (7DA).

Turns out that they liked me and so I got the opportunity to go on the (7DA).

The 7DA ranged from things, from seeing how well you hoovered the floor to how well you could eat and drink; they also did assessments on how well you coped with yard work and riding horses.

The seven days were hard but I somehow got accepted.

During those seven days, I self-harmed and that self-harm led to the infection that I've already spoken about.

7DA over, now for the hard bit, the 7DA was nothing compared to what was up next.
