"Perks of being a Ginger" - English Homework


                    “Perks of being a Ginger”
Sophie wakes up a reality check and soon finds herself heading towards the stressful days of work ahead of her at St Brendan’s Sixth Form College. Although buzzing with excitement to make a fresh start at a new place and meet plenty of new friends, Sophie soon finds herself stressing out and facing problems that she never would have dreamed of.
What if she can’t successfully complete her set homework’s? Including Halla’s English Language task to write about you in a different form of writing? What if she forgets that she’s not allowed to wear her favourite colour yellow because it clashes with her ginger hair? What if she meets the love of her life and forgets about her bad pickled onion breath from earlier on in the day? What if she forgets how to make friends? And what if she gets judged for her cringe love of musicals?
Whilst juggling all these problems at college, she then has to go back to her house to live with her whacky parents, who like to embarrass her at any available moment and her incredibly smart, academic sister who is practically perfect in every way!
What on earth is she going to do? Will she ever settle down and have an amazing college experience?  Or will she crash and burn under the pressure of all that life has to offer? And what will happen to her if she does?
