A LevelsBennett Memorial Diocesan School
- Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom
For my A-Levels I studied Media Studies (A), Home Economics (A) and English Literature (B), as well as taking AS Religious Studies which encompassed Ethics and Philosophy (B). I am proud of undertaking English Literature, despite my dyslexia, as it was hard work and required perseverance to do well in the subject. I made the decision to transition from BTEC Media Studies to A-Level in Media, which helped teach me the academic content including research and media theory, in addition to media production skills which I had learnt during my BTEC. This increased my passion for media and helped me to improve the quality of my work whilst giving me an understanding of media’s place in society and how the industry works. During my A-Levels I became good at time management, balancing a range of exams and major projects of the two years, and motivating myself to do my best in everything no matter how hard I find it. I also participated in many extra-circular activities such as completing the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award and taking part in the Model United Nations, which helped me to develop teamwork, public speaking and going beyond my comfort zone.
