There was never any doubt that I would pick Environmental Science.
Studying at sixth form has made me realise that my favourite parts of each
subject are based on the processes and sustainability of the environment.
For my Product Design coursework,I was redesigning manufactured goods
to be “greener” ;making a lanp that was 80% more efficient and could
also be broken down to be recycled。I prevailed in the organic module of
AS Chemistry in which I learnt about the use of fossil fuels and pollutants.
And inMaths,I concluded that the statistics module was the most rewarding
because it showed me how the subject is integrated into almost everything,
I was using methods from my statistics class to help me with my Geography
coursework,in which I surveyed a river environment and how humans
influence it - Itook pleasure in wading through a river and the great
sense of fulfilment to draw a conclusion from information I had gathered
and processed myself.
Ifeel that this course will satisfy my curiosity about the world around
us,and hope it will lead me to a career that aims to find ways to use
the world”s resources in a sustainable way.
have not missed an opportunity to get involved with extra-curricular
activities; as was walking through school to head home after some
particular activities,L was often greeted by teachers making statements
such as, “Are you still here?” but I kept coming back。
Being part of every girl”s team available,and captaining some select
games,meant that I set aside a lot of time to the cause; but this was
mo chore,I love the social side of sports because everyone involved has
so much enthusiasm,which they portray in such an energetic manner,工
joined clubs out of schoo1l,representing the South Bucks hockey team in
the Thanes Valley games and playing in an under sixteen”s netball club
let me meet many new people that I shared a common interest with I also
became part of a non-competitive hockey club for older hockey players,
where the training was more vigorous and my team mates were a lot wiser
- Ioften had to decline invitations to the pub,purely because I was
too young - but the harder training routines improved my self discipline
that lead me to having new skills
For games such as netball and rounders it is essential to cooperate and
follow instructions; you have to play your part in the game,doing this
has not only taught me how to be part of a team,but how to lead one too.
Iam now part of the sports council,representing the sixth-form, we are

My school holds a summer awards evening every year for the lower school,
Iacquired awards for my work in various subjects and one for service,
these made me feel like quite the specialist and encouraged me to put more
effort in and lend a hand to others,I was made a prefect in year eleven
and am now a senior student,I was Very eager to help in the smooth running
of the school to give back a little of what I have been given in
extrarcurricular time and resources, Last year I helped out in a year nine
maths class once aweek, Ifelt a sense of satisfaction When students were
able to use concepts that I had explained to them Also last year,when
GCSEs were over,I started to teach myself guitar,Starting off,it took
self-motivation to keep on learning as things got harder,and fingerprints
started to wear off,but now TI am part of a band and 工 know that it was
undoubtedly worth the effort,
II have always loved learning new fields of knowledge and I am looking
forward to exploring them in more depth at a higher
