I have been studying at Priory Sports and Technology College for 3 years and I am now in my fourth year (Year 10). I have entered for seven exams. They are: English, Maths, Science, RE, B-Tec ICT, Applied Business and History. When I leave school in 2009, I hope to get a place at Newman College, as I would like to study Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Economics A-levels.
I enjoy taking part in sports in my own time but I have not taken PE as a GCSE. I enjoy playing sports such as football, tennis, table tennis and badminton. I exercise, and play sports regularly with my friends. I exercise a lot with my friends. Mostly, just to have some fun and enjoy myself, as well as keeping fit.
At the moment, I am interested in a career associated with science. I feel that as my strong scientific section is chemistry, I could head down the path of becoming a chemist. I have felt the experience of working in a chemist, as I worked in two during the work experience period, one in either week. I spent time in a larger one in the first week, and then a smaller one in the second week. My knowledge of a chemist increased due to this. In addition, I was offered a part-time job at one of these chemists, which I accepted. I will have to see how I do in my education, as to which doors open for me in the future. I hope that if I do well, I will be able to pursue my ambition of becoming a chemist.
I take part in many extra-curricular activities. I attend a youth club, which is open twice a week in the evenings. This allows members to socialise, play sports and games. Also, the youth workers set-up trips and events to football matches, water parks, parties and universities. There is a weekly table-tennis club, which I attend. This again allows me to socialise and improve my skills of the game. On top of this, I play football once a week with my friends. As the local primary school I went to is very close, they allow me to stand on the stalls of their annual winter and summer fairs. I have been doing this many years up to now.
At my school, I have achieved many things for which I take great pride. One of my main achievements was when I received a B grade for my extra statistics GCSE. I had worked hard to get my grade up to this level. I felt that my hard work had paid off. Staying with maths, with my module one and two scores put together, I am so far on an A*. This is making me even more determined to work hard, not only in maths, but also in all of the GCSE’s which I am sitting.
I also am an enthusiastic member of my form, who takes part in charity events. Recently, we had an annual ‘jeans for genes’ charity day, for which I volunteered to stand on the stall of one of the tuck shops. I felt that I did my position justice.
I would love to join Newman College, as I have visited it, and made my decision that it is the college for me, as it would provide for all of my educational needs. I am an ambitious student, and I will do whatever I am capable of to achieve my goals in life, and to keep the amazing standards of the college high as well.
Thank You
