foundation degree
I am currently studying at West Lancashire College on the second year of a Foundation Degree in Computing, after successfully completing year one. After successfully completing a BTEC National Diploma in IT, I found that I wanted to further my knowledge of IT. I have not only found that I have a natural ability with computing, but it is something that I greatly enjoy. As a mature student I consider myself to be a hardworking, reliable and sensible person. I attend all classes regularly and I am always punctual. I take my studies seriously and treat all my coursework with the respect it deserves. I have completed all my coursework on time. My previous assignments have earned me seven distinctions and two merits. I particularly enjoyed studying the Database and Systems Analysis, as this is the route I would like to pursue as a career. I have also used Visual Basics which I have an excellent knowledge of, and at the same time this will help me in my chosen career as a System Analyst. I feel that my knowledge of databases will be of great benefit to me in the third year of my degree. I get on well with most people and work consistently well with colleagues and peers. I am hard working and consider myself to be a good team player, working well in group activities to which I bring strong organisational skills, confidence, and excellent time keeping. As a former employee within the retail sector for 10 years it has been a significant time in my life. I developed many interpersonal and social skills as I worked with a committed and professional team. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family; my partner and four children. We love being together as a family and enjoy camping, canoeing and walking. I also love to read and going to the cinema. I have been able to fulfil my role as a mum whilst also submitting assignments to an exceptional standard which demonstrates my ability to work under pressure. I am thoroughly looking forward to topping up my Fd.Sc to

    Fortunately for me (perhaps not for you) something important happened. A chap who had been generously supervising my work and spending a couple of hours with me each fortnight was keen to scuttle my attempts to pull out of Uni. He had been a “street worker” in London some twenty years before, was at that time running a programme for disabled young people and understood my frustrations with study. “Kyp”, as he was known, thrust a report in front of me and insisted I read it, report on my assessment and tell him what I would do about…

    I can clearly remember from a young age trying to help my younger family members with their school work. I enjoyed helping people, as I progressed through life, I liked coaching members of my team but never pursued it any further until one morning I woke up and decided that I no longer wished to work in a bank. I longed for a change and whilst I was on maternity leave, I looked into the possibility of entering teaching. I cannot afford this I thought, I must be mad wanting to leave a perfectly good job and go back to university, oh well I'll just apply and see what happens..... 6 months later and I'm holding an acceptance letter, was I really going to do this.... YES.…

    I would be remiss to try and convince Norwich than in the past I have been a model student. My academic record at the Virginia Military Institute wasn’t great, leaving to join the Army did not improve my academic concentration. While completing my Associates Degree with Fayetteville Technical Community College I improved. Learning to balance heavy professional workloads and an academic load was not easy for me and I often bit off more than I could chew but I progressed. Refining my time management to include academic studies was a slow fight but my time during the Warrant Officer course induced the right amount of motivation to get right with my study habits and goal of furthering my education.…

    According to S.L. Parker,” At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And with steam, you can power a train”. Just imagine that one degree can be given more affect towards you. The higher degree that we go the better our life will be which can support us and our family. I do agree with this quote which talked about how one more degree can make a difference. Some people believe that going for a Baccalaureate degree in Nursing will take longer many student just graduate as LPN, but then graduate with a BSN could provide more benefits like developing skills and earning professional identity.…
