undefinedInterests
Overall, I enjoy learning and gaining new experiences I am always wanting to do something to increase my knowledge and be able to apply what I have learnt in order to help or teach someone else I have gained so much understanding through my past experiences and hope to build on this and help others I enjoy communicating and have a group around me that can work as a team as well as individually Working in the local community is very rewarding and allows me to feel proud of the work I am doing This is something I would like to continue to do in the future as it teaches me understanding of perspectives and allows me to learn and build in helping others
Custom Section
- I have participated in many extracurricular activities such as NCS (National Citizen Service) and the Outward Bound PGL. These were school trips made in sixth form and high school. They are including adventure such as mountain climbing, camping, and hiking and giving back to the community such as cleaning up a residential area and supplying food and warm beverages to those in need in the local area. Activities such as these have allowed me to gain many skills and have also made me who I am today.
- I have also had several experiences with disabled children as my younger brother has special needs. Taking him to groups where he would receive correct support and where me and my family would learn how to adapt to him has allowed me to understand much more how children with disabilities manage their day to day lives. These experiences allowed me to become highly confident in communicating and understanding children with disability and has improved other skills such as listening and focusing.
