Personal statements
- 1.) The reasons Why I want to do TY:
- I want to do TY because I want to try new things, my brother did TY and he told me all the things that he got to do and I wanted to do them myself,
- I also want to do it because it may help me get out of my shell a bit and expand my circle of friends and maybe get along better with my year group.
- 2.) The overall aims for the year:
- My aims for the year are to have made some new friends, I would like to be able to converse with my year group a bit more then I do now, it would be nice to be able to talk to more people in my year,
- To have learned something new about myself like that I like singing or something along those lines, it would be nice to know something new about myself that neither myself or anyone else knew,
- I would hope that by the end of the year I would be able to speak in front of large groups of people or to be able to have lots of people looking at me without me stressing.
- 3.) My 5 objectives for the year:
- My objectives for doing TY are try and make new friends and be more social then I am now and to maybe expand my circle of friends, to also be able to converse with the rest of my year group.
- I would like to know what subjects I would do for my leaving cert and what courses I can take in college and what college I want to go to when I finish school,
- learn some new skills like sailing for example as I would like to be able to do more things
- I would also like to try and get over my fear of public speaking as this is something I'm not able to do at the moment, it would be nice if lI'm able to talk to groups of people or to even have a large of people look at me without my panicking or stressing out,
- I would like to get back to the young scientist competition in Dublin as when I went in second year it was great fun and now that I have some experience I might be able to do better, and I might enjoy it a bit more,
- 4.) Reasons why I think I'm suited for doing TY:
- To be honest I'm not entirely sure why I think I'm suited to TY but I would like to believe that I would be a good addition to the year group as I try to be a good worker and I'm always looking out for others and putting them before myself, and I may not like talking in a large group of people but if I'm working in a small enough group of people I would like to think we would be working well together as normally people put me in charge and usually people feel good under my lead
