"People have the wrong idea about students" starts
Betty, a full time student studying history in her final
year. "Say the word student to someone and they automatically
think your a lazy good for nothing who stays in bed all day hung
over from the night before. Maybe I'm not a typical student, I don't
even own a pair of cord trousers and I sure as hell know where the
soap is" continues Betty. So why has she decided to make a
bid to become The Apprentice's Apprentice? "Well mainly to
show that students are not what you think, that we do offer something
to society, that we don't spend all our time in the student bar
drinking cheap lager until we are sick, that we do work hard, very
hard, that we don't all try and buy ill fitting second hand clothes
or become goths pretending we are making a statement that you just
wouldn't understand. I want to do well at this and I want to win.
Becoming The Apprentice's Apprentice would be a massive step forward
for me and students everywhere". Asked if she has had to take
time off from her studying to take part in this, Betty was quick
to reply "Naa, doesn't matter, I'm never at my lectures anyway,
they won't notice if I am not around for a couple more weeks. I
doubt most of my teachers even know I am supposed to be there. Most
mornings I am so hungover I can't even recognise where the hell
I am , let alone get to a boring lecture. To be honest I can't wait
for this final year to be over, then I can just get on with getting
behind the counter in Burger King so I can start paying off some
of this grant I seemed to have pissed up the wall". |
