After completing my A levels, I have decided to take a gap year before I study physics at the University of Bath where I have a confirmed place starting 2023. My reasons for this are to broaden my experiences and develop more as an individual before I step back into academia. I am keen to keep my brain engaged and having recently experienced what a massive boost a good mentor and personal tutor can be, I am inspired to take this year to help others achieve their potential. As a student who was never naturally academic, I learned the importance of listening to other ideas and trying to find new angles to solve a problem rather than believing there is only one possible path to a good outcome. I believe I can pass on my attitude, aptitude and work ethic to other students who may feel like they’re under achieving or just need a boost in confidence to succeed. Having found it difficult to understand
some topics myself, I recognise the value of a teacher who listens and adapts depending on identified needs, as no one student is the same. Having studied martial arts since the age of 6, I have an ingrained persona of dedication, patience, resilience and discipline to achieve my goals. This has taught me to set a personal realistic high bar and consistently work hard to achieve what may seem impossible in the beginning. My mantra is start early, have a plan, get organised, be adaptable and not be afraid of failure. Students today are still experiencing the effects of the pandemic on their learning and I am wellplaced to support in a mental capacity to the extra demands placed on them. Education:
