Angela Eggleton Shortly after ex pupil Helen Scott, competed for team G.B in The London 2012 Paralympics, King Ed’s welcomes a new national cyclist Angela Eggleton to the student body. Angela is balancing her studies of Music, Psychology, P.E and English literature alongside a tough training and racing routine. Angie has enjoyed recent success winning the national ‘Scratch Race’ as she made a phenomenal performance, streaking ahead to seize the win from the previous champion. Angie describes feeling ‘overjoyed’ at a win she had ‘trained so hard for’. ‘It’s all about getting into the zone; I listen to music, eat some energy gels and get myself pumped up’. Issue 1 October 2012 contact us at askedit@kedst.ac.uk Page 8 Often an independent traveller Angie has cycled in a range of countries including Majorca, Lanzarote, France and Italy. Her experiences and day to day life, certain differ greatly from the average year 12 student, as whilst the rest of us are enjoying the last blissful hours of our night’s sleep, Angie is up and on the bike, often attending gruelling pre-college training sessions. Angie describes her pre-race preparations, ‘It’s all about getting into the zone; I listen to music, eat some energy gels and get myself pumped up’. She also emphasises the importance of careful thought rather than just raw fitness in a race ‘it’s all about tactics, especially when we’re working as a team’. With long term Olympic dreams Angela can certainly look to Helen Scott for inspiration- King Ed’s appears to be the perfect place to pursue both academic studies and Olympic cycling goals side by side.

Does fashion define friendship? Throughout the years it has become increasingly more acceptable to express your individuality. This is evident around college as each sudent carries an air of confidence whilst proudly showing off their latest outfits and fashion finds. Clothes can tell alot about a person’s identity, can we give hints regarding their personality and are a fantastic way of expressing yourself. However, are people drawn to those dressed similarly to them? Often people become segregated due to their choice of clothing and will form friendships with those who share their preferences and opinions. Despite this, students at King Eds are significantly less segregated. The friendly college community allows people to accept each other, ignore barriers and form friendships despite contrasting views. So, ignore the sterotypes. Instead, accept and commend people for their fashion choices, see past the clothing and judge someone by their personality. Open yourself to new possibilities, and dont allow fashion to define friendships! Lauren Day Issue 1 October 2012 contact us at askedit@kedst.ac.uk Page 9
