In five years time...

Honestly, I am not sure where I want to be in 5 years time. However I know that I want to complete my BA Honours Degree and then I think I would like to assist another photographer to gain experience and knowledge. I would eventually like to teach photography as I think that would be a great experience and I like to help others and I think it would be great to pass on the knowledge that I will gain. 
I think the next step for me would be to do a PGCE (postgraduate certificate in education). When I was younger teaching is something that I envisioned myself doing. A PGCE takes a year full time or two years part time. My cousin Sarah Blackmoore completed her PGCE about a year ago now so I asked her about it. I asked her where she did the course, how much it cost and what it was like her response was ‘I did my PGCE at Plymouth University based in the rolle building, It was a year course and cost the standard fees which was £3,295 when I did it. You do get a bursary to support you which always helps, though it’s not massive. It was a great course, professionally and personally but it was really hard work. You have no social life as you have three school based placements on top of assignments, lectures, extra reading, and weekly tasks but it is such a learning curve.’ She then said that she will bring me the Uni handbook from when she did it so that I can read more about the course itself so I look forward to doing so.
