My PDP Learning Line
I started my education at Great Dunmow Primary and Secondary School.
I took part in a bike marathon travelling 15 miles.
During 2006 I finished my GCSEs and took my education to the next stage by going to Sixth Form College where I studied for the next two years and eventually achieved three A levels.
While at Sixth Form I took on a part time job at Tesco working in the Grocery Department as a Stock Controller. My duties included managing stock in a number or store aisles and helping the check out team when the store became busy.
Once I finished Sixth Form I experienced the joy of passing my driving test giving my freedom to travel wherever I wanted.
Over the past year I have experienced different aspects of working life. I have experienced labour working on different sized gardens, I have worked for over two months in barns and on fields at a Research Farm learning a variety of farming skills and have also spent four months working in an office for a Finance Company.
I have now come to University to advance my learning in the area of Computing where I hope to obtain a degree
