I am currently in Year eleven at Carr Manor Community School and I have attended since 2010. In school I am now studying hard for my GCSE exams from May until July next year. I am a hardworking, independent individual that is very driven towards reaching her goals. I would like to follow the career path of midwifery and to do this I need to study double Health and Social care, Biology and English.
In school the subjects I most enjoy are English, Science, RE and History. I enjoy these subjects because they are very interesting and there is a lot of study involved with them. I am a very committed and diligent person. In these lessons they often include working in a team and individually; I am a team player and I also work well as an individual.
I have participated in some extra curriculum activities such as netball and I have been a sports ambassador and i have also helped coordinate whole school events such as sports days and house competitions. This has helped me improve my organisation and leadership skills which ultimately will help me arrange other functions and events in the future.
One of my proudest achievements is volunteering to gain work experience in a legal firm named Capsticks Solicitors. The work experience made me become more confident and gain more skills within everyday jobs. During work experience I gained basic phone manners, formal language, eye contact and it gave me a glimpse into adult life. The four week placement enhanced my independent skills which was convenient for interviews and work life. When I had completed this extracurricular course I received a certificate of achievement.
Another of my proudest achievements would be when as part of a small group, participated in a sporting program involving the primary phase, we led a P.E session for the children in year one. From this I gained confidence and I feel that this made me become more sociable. During this session I was a team leader and It has made me more confident In the things

    If I had to describe a proud moment of mine it would have to be about the summer that just recently passed. In the summer I work as a lifeguard, a serious job that isn’t always taken as serious as it should be, but when faced with danger most of the employees know what to do. Anyways, in the summer I worked as a lifeguard in the afternoons and evenings and in the morning, I would teach younger children how to swim. I was their instructor and they were my students. We had a lot of fun, and I absolutely loved teaching little kids how to do something that I love to do myself. It was hot summer day and a lot of the camp children from the local boys and girls club had just arrived. So all of the lifeguards on duty assumed their positions…

    I believe my greatest non-academic achievement would be my involvement in the sport of hockey. I have been passionately involved in hockey since I was a young child and have been able to transition from a youth to a young adult with many of my peers in the hockey world. I find hockey to be my greatest achievement outside the classroom because of how much time I have invested playing the game, as well as the time I have spent being an advocate for the sport. Not only have I had the opportunity to play the sport for almost the entirety of my life, I have also been able to become an active member of my community, using hockey as the outlet. I have taken part in mentorship initiatives to help teach young children the sport, I have refereed youth…

    I learned to jump right into a task and be a leader and help kids who struggled like I had. My second year at Berwick I flourished with responsibility and becoming construction crew head, which is uncommon for a second year at Camp Berwick but I knew I had to be a leader and step it up since my crewmates looked up to me. I learned construction and how to use the power tools better and how to properly guide my crewmates on how to safely use the saws when cutting from my mentor Dr.Stewart. My third year was my first full year as construction crew head, I had more crew members to be responsible for had to teach first years again safety and proper use of power tools. Taught leadership skills to the second years so they would work well with the younger crewmates on construction crew. I was later voted on the boy’s council at the end of the summer my biggest triumph in those three years. My fourth year I was a cabin head, construction crew head, and senior counselor I worked with staff to run the camp and figure out the daily activities. My fifth year I set the example, I was looked up to. Younger campers dreamed of my position I was glad that I could impact their life and as the senior counselor it was a lot of responsibility and made me a better leader by having more self-control when others are looking at me as the example. I wanted to show them how to be the best even though I made mistakes and still…

I have been a very active scout and will continue to be one. The Boy Scouts of America have given me tools and skills that I will use throughout my life. This past summer I was second in charge of a youth leadership-training course. Which is a weeklong event in which the participants learn extensive leadership skills and advanced scout skills. That course gave me a large amount of first hand teaching and leadership experience. As well as my Eagle Scout project which came out to over forty hours of work time and planning…
