Accomplishments

I have completed both bronze and silver D of E, which enabled me to work with a variety of different groups of people, helping me to improve team working skills and build a further recognition of different people's needs and abilities, and how to accommodate these. In addition, this helped me improve my problem solving skills, while communicating with a range of different people.

Affiliations

I study ballet at Stapleton School of Dance, at intermediate vocational and grade 5 levels. I have done ballet since I was 3 and it has helped me to develop strong determination, dedication and resilience.

I am also part of the drama group Sodbury Players Youth Section (SPYS), and have acted in various plays at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall, most recently as dance captain, and a pantomime with Sodbury Players Adults. This has given me further teaching experience, while also allowing me to work with a range of people, improve my time management skills, improvise and problem-solve, and stay calm under pressure.
