Summary
I am a personable 17 year old, year 13 student at Bennett Memorial diocesan school. I have persevered through my school life while working with dyslexia and ADHD, and managed to overcome them at GCSE and now A-level. In my free time I like to play cricket, and run for Tonbridge athletic club. These activities have improved my teamwork and discipline through hard work and commitment.
