LO2 Evaluate personal qualities and resources available

Personal Characteristics 
I am a very creative person and I love expanding my skills to enable me to produce better work. I put all my effort and passion into the work I do. I strive from working in a team and love the feeling in a group project when everyone is fully invested in its success. I like being in a group environment when learning because everyone has different ideas and ways of writing. I also enjoy working independently and I'm very self-motivated to get my set tasks done. When I am set a project I am very committed to it and like to achieve my highest standards of work.
Skills
Digital Media gives me the opportunity to create different types of media products. It has allowed me the opportunity to use and learn different editing software, such as Adobe Premiere, InDesign and Photoshop. On the course we start projects from scratch so I understand how to create something from the start and fit the deadline that I've been set. This has given me skills that will help me in media jobs and the world of work. Another skill this course has given me is pitching my ideas to employers. So from doing these presentations regularly it has made me more confident to talk to companies and helped me understand how to present to them. I have also created a magazine. This enabled me to practice my journalism skills and understand how to aim my product to a certain target audience. The English course I have done has enabled me to improve my writing skills and has helped me understand how to manipulate the English language better.
Relevant Achievements
I created a radio show called Yorkshire Lasses for one of my college units and presented it to a radio producer at Sheffield Live!, because it was so successful I was asked to create more scripts for it to we could turn it into a TV show. Also I was a prefect in secondary school. This shows my ability to work as a team and that I'm able to work well with authority. Another skill I have gained is being a qualified first aider. I used this skill at UK Medical Events Service (UKEMS). At UKEMS  I had to rely on my team and help others.  This job gave me the opportunity to talk to new people and get used to constant changes and I have helped a lot of people that needed medical attention. Also it has helped my ability to work in different environments and under pressure. I have also had a retail assistant job in Matalan. This job really helped me with communicating with people and working is busy hours. I also have 12 GSCE's graded C and B.
Experiences and Interests
From a young age I have always had an avid interest in writing and creating stories. I have always written stories and love to express my creativity. One of my personal goals is to have my own book published, this would be a great achievement and I hope to one day achieve it. I would also like to write scripts for movies, plays and TV shows. As a screenwriter and have my work broadcasted and
recognised. The theatre is also a big influence to me. I enjoy the atmosphere and
the skill of acting. I enjoy the feeling of having my work being produced and seeing my work
being performed gives me a sense of achievement.
