Profile
My primary objective at this stage is to work hard and learn as many skills as possible. I am highly ambitious, love achieving results no matter how hard I need to work. I like to take responsibility for things I do, be reliable and punctual. I believe that as well as being academic I am also very practical and see myself being very much a people’s person. I work well with others as well as on my own. I particularly enjoy sales as it involves dealing with people and also gives me the satisfaction of achieving a result i.e making a sale. I can speak Ukrainian and Russian and have a good knowledge of Spanish. At Sixth Form I decided to set up the Bournemouth School Economics Society. The idea being getting the best economics brains in the Sixth Form to meet every fortnight to debate upon a particular topic in current affairs, thus improving our knowledge and debating skills. I am a great believer in self-improvement. I will always strive to be the best in anything I do. I hold a full UK Driving License.
