Other Interests

Whilst at school I had work experience in a local Gym, which was both challenging and worthwhile. Not only was I involved in the practical side of the Gym, as it was a small local business I was able to shadow the owner, giving me valuable insight into the everyday running, the business techniques and key skills necessary. I believe that my time at the gym has evolved my communicative skills and has given me the confidence to approach and feel comfortable when interacting with the general public. 

Throughout my senior school years I was a regular "sticker up" at Skittles matches once a week for six years. This gave me an understanding of the importance of being on time and knowing that other people were relying on me. I learnt to concentrate on the job in hand and the players could rely on me to be efficient. The organizer was also thankful for my reliability and often asked me to help out at additional matches. I developed a repartee with the players and this gradually increased my interpersonal skills. I am not really an extrovert but I like to engage with others and actively seek social interaction, whilst maintaining the balance between that and the task I am working on.

I have a keen interest in football and I've had a commitment to a team from the age of seven until the present. I was chosen on many occasions to be the captain of my team. This has led me take up a role of responsibility which I feel I can develop further, when working in a team. I was chosen by the Jamie Shore academy to play in a team at a tournament in Denmark. Other hobbies include playing the piano, I have played at local concerts which has certainly helped me gain in personal confidence. I have also achieved Grades 1-6 in Trinity Guildhall practical piano and Grades 1-5 In Trinity Guildhall theory. This shows the clear passion and commitment that I have for activities that I take an interest in. From all of my extra curricula activities they have helped me develop my teamwork skills, I believe I am hard working, motivated and decisive.
