UCAS PERSONAL STATEMENT DRAFT 2

1st Paragraph-
I would like to outline my desire to secure a position on this course as I am passionate about studying media. I have more than 4 years experience in a media based environment that would help me if I was to get the position in your course.
Over the past 2 Years I have studied BTEC LEVEL 3 MEDIA in College. I feel that my interest for your course has come from my love of Media and Film and throughout the years I have been learning everything about Media from all over the world. I am very enthusiastic about a position on your course due to what the course teaches you.
As I said, I was studying BTEC LEVEL 3 MEDIA in College, i think the attributes that i have gained over the years of completing my course could really benefit me for what i have chosen. I feel this because my teamwork skills and bubbly personality them attributes could really help me gain confidence and perspective about the course I want to complete.
Many things inspired me to choose this course, such as my love for film and media and wanting to strive for a media based job for my career.



Paragraph 2 -
Some of my key attributes and skills that I feel I have is that I am a strong worker with groups or by myself and can achieve a large amount of work whenever i can. My experiences that I have had during my time at college such as my work experiences and the different projects I have completed over the year.
They're many times where I feel I have some of my strongest attributes, such as during group work for college or on the set of one of our projects, I used my work ethic and my astronomically vast knowledge of media to achieve my grades during my years at college, I managed to to do this due to my strong attributes and my will to be successful during my time at Ashton Sixth Form College.
Another of my strongest skills is my communication with others, this is a really good trait to have especially in the media industry because it allows me to work with anybody and really helps me to connect with people also.

Paragraph 3- I have done some work experience in 2 places in my lifetime. Firstly i did 4 days in retail at a WHSmith which was very fun and i learn a lot about working with different people and i learnt how to deal with tricky situations in the shop.
My second bit of work experience was at a local radio station where i thrived during my week there, i was completing editing and i was recording and helping with some of the broadcast's throughout the week, this was really good for me and my confidence because it helped me get used to a different type of media based environment outside of college and i really enjoyed my time there. I feel my skills i learnt whilst at the radio station would help me on this university course because i would be more confident in my ability when needing to complete a piece of work outside of college


Paragraph 4
A lot of my hobbies and interest are things very close to me such as Football, this is my biggest hobby and defiantly my biggest interest due to a lot of my family supporting different teams, I feel this is so close to my heart not just Football but my love of sport also. Sport is a huge factor of my lifestyle when I’m not concentrating on college or voluntary work my main focus is sport, as well as keeping fit it allows me to connect with different people from around the local area.
My hobbies have taught me many things about myself and about others, I feel sport helps you to understand a lot about yourself physically and mentally and it helps to broaden your mind to the many possibilities in sport. They have also taught me self-control and patience, these are two important factors in any job and even at University or any job because they allow me be in control of any situation where I may need to react quick whether it is in a work based environment or whether there is a serious situation in a work place or at University.
I feel sport has also taught me a lot about my career for the future and what I could possibly do linking sport with Media, such as a sports presenter.
Another one of my interest’s is gaming and spending time with my friends, I feel these two interests are very similar because it involves time being spent with friends, these interests allow me to connect with my friends and lets me make our friendship stronger, I feel these would help me during my time at University because building a strong friendship with people you would work with would be a huge part of the course and the experience in general.

Paragraph 5
Future Plans
I want to start this University course because I want to strive to be the best in Media and I am always dreaming big and wanting to work hard to achieve the best, I also think this course would help me build relationships for the future, working with many different individuals will be interesting and important for me to be able to successfully challenge for places in different departments of the Media Industry. I hope this course leads me many places but I hope one place it does lead me is in the path of a successful career, I feel with the right help and the correct attitude anybody including me can achieve it on this course, I feel this course will help me because it will allow me to understand media at a higher level then I’m at now. The knowledge that I have gained from this course will be vital to my successful career in the media industry, I feel this to be true because I will learn will be the epitome of what media is and also this course will have majorly improved my knowledge of media a dramatic amount and I feel, I will be ready to start my first job after I’ve came out of this course straight away with a lot of confidence.
