Demonstrate significant improvement to your attainment – I have completed assignments to a much higher standard in yr 2 which has got me a distinction on my first assignments.

Personal Goals –

Expanded my knowledge on psuedo random number generators (prngs) in c++ and how Uniform Integer Distributions can be used to generate numbers between intervals with uniform probability and long periods as part of my learning of the C++ language. I am now looking at how PRNGs can be used in cryptography.

Sustainability badge

1.) When I go shopping, I always use my own bag.

2.) Instead of buying print-out books I have invested in a tablet to buy pdf versions of books which promotes the conversion of books to be integrated in online technologies which damages the tree destroying business.

3.) I use my own water bottle for the gym instead of buying one-off disposable bottles.

My Volunteering Experience

Volunteering 1: Blocking roads as part of the graduation ceremony. Took the role of a team member in ensuring a specific street remained closed and ensuring we were constantly in sync with the rest of the team blocking other roads in the surrounding area.

This gave me the ability to work as part of a small team which communicated with other small teams to meet an overall objective.

Volunteering 2: In this volunteering task, we participated during a recruitment exercise to simulate a live classroom environment where potential teachers delivered a lesson. After we provided feedback to the assessor.

I enjoyed that I was able to oversee a recruitment assessment and observe both sides of the recruitment process. ( The candidate, and the assessor). I liked that I was able to provide valuable feedback. Was at Barnsley College for a day.

Evaluation is important because it allows you to reflect on strengths and weaknesses of what you have done and it gives you the opportunity to see where you have made mistakes so you can improve next time and do it better.  It also allows you to review things as they happened in a

As per the Resillience badge states that Resillience is made of the following combined:

Self-Awareness, Purpose, Self care, Positive Relationships, Mindfulness.

I will provide evidence of each one below to show that I meet these attributes.

Evidence 1-
Self awareness - Throughout my teenage years I have been constantly assessing my strengths, weaknesses motivations by exposing myself to situations that bring out these qualities and attributes. For example, to find out motivations I have tried new hobbies such as Karate that have brought out strengths such as confidence, discipline etc. I have further assessed my strengths and weaknesses by working in teams that have allowed me to work out my personal traits of strength and where I have weaknesses.

To evidence this, throughout  college assignments I have worked in teams in  college assignments such as practical's where I've had act as a leader and in other circumstances be a team member.

Evidence 2- Selfcare - To ensure that I stay motivated I ensure to create schedules and ensure there is enough balance to prevent burnout.

Purpose - From experience throughout my youth I have found purpose in myself to serve government and its people in a role I am passionate about.

Evidence 3-Mindfulness - Taking grasp of any opportunity now such as job apprenticeships and taking the opportunity to attend interviews and complete assessment gives me a breadth of knowledge required to be successful when it matters the most.
