I am Possible with Arran
At the age of 16 in 2017, Arran was one of ten Scottish teenagers to have the privilege to complete a Polar expedition across the Arctic and have since toured Scottish schools, branches of Tiso and business events with talks to inspire others who struggle academically, to have confidence that they can still go far in life, and to encourage future sponsorship to help support others do the same. He has represented his school in various dance performances and my country in karate, training with the national squad at black belt level from the age of 11.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by helping other people who don’t believe in themselves and show them a way to help them become a better person.
What are your dreams for the future?
My dream for the future would be to become an outdoor instructor, inspirational speaker and become a guide for The Polar Academy.
Who is your role model and why?
My role model is Craig Mathieson because he taught me that you can achieve anything if you put all your efforts into it and don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. He showed me ways that anything is possible.
You crossed the Arctic with Craig Mathieson – tell us a little about your experience and what you learnt from it.
Me, Craig and the rest of the team crossed the artic in Greenland. We did a 2-week expedition last year between march and April 2017. The whole experience was amazing, seeing mountains that aren’t named, seeing the northern lights, meeting new friends and training for the whole year, giving all of our efforts into every part of the journey. From this, I learnt that teamwork is key as we are one team and to help each other when we needed it the most on our expedition. I also learned that staying positive and believing in yourself can help you for life.
The Polar Academy is a charity that was founded to support and develop young people in confidence and overcoming challenges in life – how did it help you and how could it help others?
It helped me become more confident since I have a speech and language disorder, dyslexia and dysgraphia. From this, I have spoken to 4,000 students and adults about my experience around Scotland. It has helped me believe in what I want to do for the future. It has also helped me to inspire people as much as I can to help them to believe in themselves.
Please finish this sentence: ‘I am Possible’ because….
I am possible because I believed in myself that I could do my expedition that helped me become a better person and overcome the challenges I have and not let anyone tell me what I can’t do.
What’s an activity you wish you could try?
I wish to try windsurfing as it looks fun to do and also gives me a challenge as it is a hard activity.
What do you think of Isossy Children clothing?
I think Isossy Children Clothing is a great company to help children become confident and stop the stereotypical fashions that let kids feel free and happy about what they wear for everyday use.
What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
Believe in who you are, stay positive especially throughout the tough times and don’t let anyone tell what you can’t do.

I Am Possible with Alex Gibbon
My name is Alex Gibbon, I am a 13-year-old girl and my dream is to write and sing great songs and entertain people whilst doing what I love. I left home at 10 to board at a Performing Arts school as I have always known that singing and performing is all I want to do. I am really dyslexic so I struggle more than most when reading music but I won’t give up and will keep working really hard to progress.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by anyone working hard to chase their dreams, it could be someone who has great success or a person just starting out in anything they love after all everyone starts somewhere.
What are your dreams for the future?
What are your dreams for the future?
My dreams for the future are to try and gain a development deal with people who are experts in the industry and can help me write and produce music everyone can connect with. Then go on with a record deal, release albums and tour etc. I am prepared to work my hardest so I hope one day my dreams come true.
Your Instagram talks a lot about body positivity – can you tell us a little about your experiences with body image and body confidence?
I’ve been talking about body positivity since singing at Mini Mode, an amazing kids fashion show. Since singing for them and it being shared on social media I’ve had lots of messages from young girls like me that don’t fit the normal body shape. They found it so encouraging that I was there on the runway and I want the fashion world to wake up and hope they start making clothes for children that are a bit bigger as we want to look pretty too. I hope I get the privilege of singing at another event like this and someone has an outfit that I can wear with pride. I was bullied at my last school and it caused issues in my confidence but I’m happy to say that my new school has made me see that everyone looks different and that’s ok.
Who is your role model and why?
My role models are strong, passionate woman who don’t feel the need to fit in and find success in their own way. My biggest role model is Adele as she is an amazing singer-songwriter and I also love Iskra and Ashley Graham as they are showing the world that it’s fine to look a bit different to the usual people on stage, in the media etc.
What do you think of Isossy Children clothing?
What do you think of Isossy Children clothing?
Isossy clothing is sooooo cool I especially loved the velvet dresses on the runway for Mini Mode. Also, I’ve seen a few ruffles in the new collection and what girl doesn’t love ruffles!!
What advice would you give to kids who love singing and want to develop their voice?
What advice would you give to kids who love singing and want to develop their voice?
To anyone that loves singing my advice is sing, sing and sing some more. Don’t ever give up what you love doing and if you want to develop your voice find a good local singing teacher and have lessons as often as you can afford. I started lessons as a present for my 5th birthday I haven’t wanted to stop since.
What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
I think every child should grow up knowing that they can be anything they want to be and believe and hope dreams can come true. I believe that if I work hard, be determined and never give up (even if stuff doesn’t go to plan all the time) then my dreams can come true.
Please finish this sentence: I Am Possible because….
Please finish this sentence: I Am Possible because….
I am possible because… of all the amazing support and love around me. Thanks Isossy kids and the amazing Amanda and Denise for believing in me. One day I’m going to make you really really proud.
