Hobbies & Interests
I am extremely sporty and love to work out regularly. I captained my football team for 2 years at my previous school and have been a part of the Leighton Park 1st Rugby XV and the 1st Football XI. I also took part in air cadets for 2 years, becoming a corporal for 1 year which allowed me to gain many leadership qualities and help me to gain my confidence with public speaking and it proved how enthusiastic I am. As previously stated, I have experience in leadership roles, ranging from being a corporal to having multiple prefect roles at my previous school. I highly enjoyed these roles, and they interested me daily as they allowed me to show my passion for the school. In my free time I enjoy bodybuilding. I spend 5 days a week at the gym and is has taught me skills including dedication, consistency and mental discipline.
