5 Minute Q & A with Sarah Goldsmith & Mr Hicks

When did you leave Archbishop Beck Catholic College? July 2013. What does your occupation entail? I am a primary school teacher. What do you value most in people? I value people who are kind and respectful to everybody, regardless of who they are. What do you like most about your job? I love working with children and helping them achieve and realise their potential. It is the most rewarding job, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. What are your memories of your time at Archbishop Beck? My time at Archbishop Beck was fantastic and I was blessed to be surrounded by fantastic friends that are still in my life now. I was given lots of opportunities to travel and experience different cultures which I am truly grateful for. What advice would you give to your teenage self? Take every opportunity that comes your way and don’t let what other people think influence your decisions. What is your favourite book? Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I have loved it ever since studying it for A Level English Literature and constantly reread it even now.

It has been a delight to catch up with you and thanks for sharing your story. A final word from Emily Bronte: “I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.” Emily Brontë
