It was lovely to start the new term with a lecture from one of our own, author of “Born to be Awesome” and singer/songwriter Samantha, the new Linhope House common room gave the session a cosy and welcoming feel, allowing the students to interact and participate.

The Sixth Form were given a talk by Samantha Babooram on ‘being enough’. She gave an inspirational and interactive speech that encouraged everyone to embrace their inner self and know their self-worth. By explaining the mental challenges that she faced through her child and young adulthood and how she overcame them, Samantha showed us how possible it is to live your best life by believing in yourself. She achieved her dreams through dedication, self-love, and bravery. The talk was motivating and comforting.
