From a young age I have always been fascinated by science, and this led me to develop an interest in medicine.I enjoy my biology and chemistry lessons and pursuing a career which entails both sciences would broaden my knowledge. After much research into different areas of medicine this made me ask questions about the history of dentistry and dental care, and ultimately oral health as a whole. Some questions that came to mind were, how were oral operations carried out and how has oral care developed over the years

At the start of lower sixth form, I had an interest in both medicine and dentistry so I felt that work experience in a health clinic would help me in deciding my future career. Here, I got the opportunity to discuss with the GP all aspects of the medical profession. After this, I was fortunate enough to attend the local dental practice for futher work experience and observe carefully what the work of a dentist entails. I also learned a great deal about the demands of the job and formed a realistic opinion about what a career in dentistry is all about

Towards the end of lower sixth form, I started voluntary work at the local hospital on a weekly basis. I will be continuing to do so until I have completed twelve months. My posts of responsibility in the surgical ward include assisting the nurses in their duties where I get to do a lot of ‘hands on’ work. A part of the voluntary work which is very important to me is interacting with the patients as my interpersonal skills improved and I have learned to communicate effectively with a diverse group of people and deal with difficult and sometimes emotional situations. It is a thoroughly enjoyable experience as well as being a beneficial one because working in the medical environment gives me a real insight as to what the patients are feeling and what procedures take place so I am constantly understanding and learning new things. Therfore, as well as learning from work experience I feel that by carrying out voluntary work at the hospital I am giving something back to the community

I am actively involved in all aspects of school life. I play badminton on a weekly basis at the school badminton club in order to achieve a balance between work and play. I have been a representative on the school council, a form captain and a form prefect for a year seven group where I encouraged and supported the other pupils. I was also able to display leadership skills and make diplomatic decisions. I have been a school librarian for three years. I found this rewarding and I also enjoyed the responsibility

This July, I was a successful applicant for a community project at school and selected to work with a group of other students to form a peer listening service to be held at a ‘drop-in-centre’ situated in the school for younger students. Formal training was given by educational psychologists and during this time I acquired many skills such as listening and problem solving. With these skills I can help others in need and also apply them to life in general. For two years I was a member of the school gospel choir, and this gave me the opportunity to perform at various venues, with other local schools at concerts in other schools as well as my own and centres, the highlight being the chance to perform at a live concert promoting anti-gun crime at Aston Villa Football Ground. Belonging to the school gospel choir not only gave me the opportunity to put my talent to good use but also further enriched me as an individual and raised my self esteem

In my spare time I like to play badminton for my own relaxation and attend the local gym to keep fit. Reading is one of my hobbies and I have read many works of classic literature by authors such as Austen, Hardy, Shakespeare and Dickens. Poetry has always been a passion of mine and I like to express myself through writing prose, an area in which I have had two pieces published. Outside school, I am continuing to learn French as I have always had an intense interest in this language. To keep updated with the latest advances in science I read New Scientist regularly

I enjoy working on my own iniative and I believe I can also be part of an effective team. I hope one day to work in a practice where I could use some of my personal qualities to serve the needs of a local community. I feel I am methodical, able to undertake precise tasks and assimilate detailed information quickly. Also, I am diligent, hard-working and determind to succeed.
