From a young age I was always fascinated about how and why things work. I would spend hours dismantling my toys or playing with Lego to turn my ideas into reality. As I grew older I discovered I had a keen interest in sciences, particularly Physics which help in my understanding of how and why things work.
The desire to apply theory to real life situations allowed me to thoroughly enjoy the mechanics module of A level Mathematics, as well as the mechanics and theory involved in A level Physics. While Mathematics and physics are the main background skills needed for engineering, the increasing importance of computers means skills learnt during my I.C.T. A-level would be of great use during a career in engineering.
Rugby and an active social life have been carefully my academic studies for school. I have captained my local club team as well as playing for my school. In addition to this I also assist coach mini rugby at my local club, completing several coaching workshops. This has helped me discover I have a talent for leadership and help improve my time management which will be vital for succeeding in a tough university course.
To complement my academic and sporting life I have completed my Duke of Edinburgh Silver award and am currently completing the Duke of Edinburgh Gold ward. These gave me a chance to undertake many new challenges and frequently allowed be to deal with unusual predicaments and work with a wide variety of people. It has also allowed me to help the local community which I have continued to do, doing volunteer work at a local animal sanctuary and coaching mini rugby.
