20 Dear Ms Fearon I can t believe that the three years at university have gone so quickly! Rather late, I know, but I wanted to say a huge thank you to you and Mr Chase for all the help and support you gave me with UCAS stuff I wouldn t have got here without your advice! And guess what? I have decided to become a teacher! I was wondering whether I could come and spend a week shadowing one of the History teachers at Hazelwick? I have spent three years telling people here what a great school Hazelwick is and how much I loved my time there; especially the two years in the Sixth Form where I got involved in so much stuff. I talk about how amazing the teachers and year teams were and what great teaching and support I had. I would love to be as good a teacher as the ones I had at Hazelwick!
