I conducted an EPQ exploring David Bowie’s cultural influence on society, an experience that I found immensely enriching. This research project not only enhanced my analytical abilities but also significantly improved my time management skills.

I successfully completed the Duke of Edinburgh Award Bronze level, showcasing my commitment, perseverance, and team-building skills. Additionally, I was able to volunteer at an Oxfam shop, which provided me with valuable insights into a professional work environment.

During college, I also volunteered as a reading mentor, which honed my communication and leadership abilities. These skills proved invaluable during my work experience placement at Lindow Primary School. In this role, I gained practical work experience and developed the ability to communicate effectively with diverse individuals while collaborating effectively within a team.

• I have a deep interest in the arts and sociology. While I intend to pursue these interests formally next year, I wish to concentrate on art this year. I am particularly fond of music and literature, which have enhanced my critical thinking abilities.
