EXPERIENCE
Youth Political Organisation | I was a member of a political organisation designed
to deliver a voice for young people in my local area. Being a part of this
organisation allowed me to develop my communication skills by attending regular
virtual meetings with fellow colleagues, using debating skills to help decide on
future projects and listening skills to carefully follow instructions given.

Chicago School Production | When I was in Y9, I was involved with the school’s
latest new production they were to perform for the whole school and families
based on the Broadway Musical ‘Chicago’. During the rehearsal and preparation
before the show was performed, I had to apply my listening skills by following
instructions from teachers in order to learn gestures, dances and songs I had to
know.

keeps me fit and healthy (physically and mentally), I took part in many productions at
high-school, most notably ‘Chicago’ which I prepared to perform for 3 months. I was a
member of a political organisation, representing my local town, discussing key issues
facing our town. I tend to babysit my younger brother and sister when I am asked to
occasionally e.g when my Mum needs to quickly go to the shop. I used to attend drama
classes once a week when I had a major interest in acting and singing. I used to be a
member of the local Beavers group when I was a younger, conducting teamwork and
using my communication skills in order to achieve my tasks sufficiently.
