During my time at school I have gathered many key skills and have absorbed a great deal of knowledge.
Out of everything I had been taught through my secondary education, my 'creative' and 'problem solving'
skills were the most influential and had become my greatest assets. The subjects I chose to study for my
AS-levels helped further my technical ability within these two areas. While mathematics and computing
have enhanced my problem solving skills, 'design and technology' and art have enriched my artistic and
creative capabilities. When researching architecture during my as-level technology course I learnt how to
produce a wide range of imaginative research and while looking at my two favorite architects; Frank Loyd

general assistance. I was asked to take part in a gifted and talented enrichment program along with

awards and certificates, my most significant being my 'supreme award', which I received for my academic
achievements and my contribution as a student to the school
