Writing has always been a huge passion of mine.

As a child, I was constantly scribbling words

in notebooks, filling them to the brim and as an adult, I am constantly tapping away at my
laptop developing ideas for the next story I wish to tell. Through my passion for storytelling, I
have adapted my passion for writing into an ambition to become a screenwriter, an ambition
that I am eagerly optimistic that university will help me achieve. After extensively
researching my prospective next steps, I am certain that this university course is the ideal
direction for me. I am excited to surround myself with others that have similar aspirations to
me and work alongside them. I look forward to not only the educational value that
university will offer but also the networking opportunities I will hopefully acquire.

Independently, I am constantly working on my own writing projects, which range from

outlines for movies and tv shows that I would like to one day see in production, to the
opening chapters of novels inspired by some of my favourite works such as A Song of Ice and
Fire, The Hunger Games and several of my favourite childhood books written by Jacqueline
Wilson. I have entered these pieces into competitions before along with posting them on
social media platforms and have received praise on my ability to describe a character as if
they are a real breathing human. Additionally, in 2017, I started creating blog posts on a
social media platform that bought together fans of some of my favourite tv shows and
movies, creating these posts not only helped me improve the way that I write through
gathering and implementing peer feedback but also helped me learn the importance of
community in the writing space. My blog posts on this site were well received leading to me
gaining a follower count of over 50,000 and becoming a senior moderator within the
community. My responsibilities within this position were running weekly events and
competitions, creating tutorials and help-posts and making sure everybody was aware and
following our community guidelines, basically, helping the community run smoothly.

Alongside these independent projects, I am currently studying the CAVA Access to HE Media
course at Bournemouth and Poole college. On this course, I have had the opportunity to
write several scripts and receive feedback on them through class discussion, I have found
this extremely beneficial as not only has it helped me enhance my writing skill but it has
boosted my confidence when showcasing my work. This course is also providing me with a
fruitful understanding of the production side of media. I feel this to be beneficial to me as it
will allow me to understand the positions of people that I aim to work alongside in the
future. On this course, I have further developed my research and analytical skills. This is very
important to me as I have grown up fascinated by delving deeper into topics of interest and
obsessing over the finer details. This fascination has forced its way into my academic life
along with greatly impacting my writing for personal projects. I find that this has helped me
create fully fleshed-out characters in my work, characters that have clear-sighted aspirations
and believable faults. I have also completed tasks which included film analysis; this has really
helped my eye for detail and helped me understand the importance of certain small
decisions in characterisation and dialogue.

I believe that this passion for research stemmed from my great fondness for humanities
subjects in school as I was a dedicated subject ambassador for my favourite of the
humanities subjects, history. During this position, I committed my own-time to a range of
tasks including tutoring younger peers for their mock exams and promoting the subject to
prospective students at open-evening events. In my opinion, the experience in this role
taught me the importance of communication as I had to work alongside peers in a
collaborative effort to achieve the best results and time-management as I had to efficiently
organise myself to prepare resources and provide feedback by scheduled deadlines.

Overall, I am passionate about my subject and dedicated to putting in the work relevant to
achieving my overall goals along with being a restless creative soul. I am excited to see how
university will inspire me to create further!
