David is a very enthusiastic Sports Journalist that will be attending the university of the Arts in London. David has helped progress his future in sports journalism by starting up a blog on the NFL titled NFL Brit view which has attracted a following and is well worth reading.

He has a wide range of interests beyond sport however including his love of films, music and video games. If you need to speak to someone about Muse or the Star Wars trilogy David is the person for it. He also enjoys the Indiana Jones films but denies the existence of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which frankly we all agree with. This sits next to a great knowledge of current affairs and the chance to have a highly charged political conversation.

One of David’s finest works is his documentary on the local venue the Square. This was a very enjoyable and informative documentary that features questionably the best use of the English language. In part of the narration David states that the square is a “Great place to hang out, play Pool and have a beer” Which has sparked off a flame of creativity from his friends with his own meme and various jokes, catchphrases and references.

As one of David’s closest friends I can tell you that he is a great person and is very easy to have a conversation with. When in his company you will spend most of your time laughing. David is also an amazing advice giver in fact after I was dumped he said to me “get over her and come to the pub so we can have a beer”

He even casually hangs out with Vernon Kay

There is only one Craig Fantham. Most commonly known for being the ‘Kanye West’ of the classroom he is an exceptional creative, a boisterous and in some ways arrogant individual with great ambitions and ideas for the future. Craig to many people is intimidating and annoying but he knows this, being a 6ft3 blonde boy there is no denying that Craig is one of a kind.

Craig is a beacon of hope to all, his confidence and stature illuminates the classroom and workplace, his odd sense of vocabulary and hysterical banter echoes through the walls like a werewolf’s howl, his is a presence. With ambitions of becoming an actor and just recently been accepted into The National Youth Theatre of Great Britain and also with plans to attend university he is definitely on his way to greatness if he keeps his head…

Throughout his journey on the journalism course Craig has dwelled into deep moments of despair and madness but has also excelled and shown his mettle, with forming great bonds with fellow students and teachers but also in his work, from secondary school he was an angry, lost child but now 2 years down the line he has matured into a respectable young man who inspires others.

Sally is a unique individual who is always enthusiastic and finds the positive in everything. She is one of the most laid back people there is, yet is the jolliest person in class on a Monday morning and will always put a smile on your face. But do not be fooled by her sweet appearance, Sally has a sharp tongue which is guaranteed to make almost anyone laugh.

Although she is very laid back she isn’t a stranger to planning and perfectionism - there isn’t a piece of her work that isn’t perfectly aligned and she can spend copious lengths of time making everything seamless.

She plans to spend a considerable chunk of 2015 travelling; exploring Europe and Africa, and possibly Australia and Asia too, seeing and experiencing as much as possible. Aside from this adventure she loves to spend the summer time with her friends and enjoying good music, which is made apparent by her collection of festival wristbands.

Throughout the Journalism course, she found her creativity and excelled in the photography unit in which she created an advertisement for Dr Martens shoes. This is what led her on to deciding to study Advertising at University following her gap year.

There are many things that makes Jade stand out from the rest of the class. Not only she is determined to get some of the best grades, she is definitely not afraid to speak her mind. If something needs to be said you can count on Jade to say it.  Although she is a pleasure to work with, she is not to be messed with. She is fierce, passionate and not afraid to put forward her opinion and her debates with almost everyone will not be forgotten. She is not afraid to challenge anything but, equally, has fun in class and doesn’t take everything too seriously. Jade is one of the most organised people in the class who has everything in specific folders and always has her equipment. Some members of the class became reliant on her to bring in her hole punch.

Jade’s ambitions are to become a music journalist and her passion for this has been made clear through her music enthusiasm. She plays the drums, goes to plenty of concerts and has already managed to land herself a double page spread in Kerrang magazine interviewing her favourite rock star. She is ambitious and funny, and always wants to experience new things. So, while she is studying the one-year NCTJ course at University Centre Harlow she will be taking some time out to go backpacking around Europe with fellow classmate Sally.

There is no doubt that Rory Dilley; an
aspiring film journalist will achieve all of his goals and more. The dedication
and pride that he takes in his work really is something to be admired.
Considered a perfectionist, Rory will give everything he has to ensure he can
be the best of the best.

To begin with, Rory was seen as quiet and
shy, however these perceptions of him quickly changed when he began to come out
of his shell. He is approachable and friendly, always willing to offer a
helping hand wherever he can. The motivated and competitive side of Rory is the
key to his success.

Although, it is not just his hard working
nature that makes him such a valued student. Known for his sarcasm and dry
sense of humor, Rory never fails to put a smile on your face. Because of his
perfectionist nature, Rory has been given the title ‘worrier’; so much so that
his classmate, Laura, will sing ‘Billy Ocean – When the Going Gets Tough, the
Tough Get Going’ to cheer him up.

Outside of the classroom, Rory enjoys
playing football, reading and of course, watching films. Rory likes to socialise
with friends from college, and although he started the course having known a
couple of people, he soon branched out and is now good friends with all of the
class.

As Rory embarks on his next step in life,
he will further his education at either Anglia Ruskin or Exeter University,
where he will study film studies.
Although he is yet to decide which university to attend, he is certain
that his career lies in film.

Chloe Johnson has always had a strong passion for writing, and when she isn’t listening to R&B music, she is working hard to achieve personal aspirations.

Chloe’s other interest besides music is fashion, his is something that she was allowed to experiment with in the photography unit. For this unit Chloe photographed different types of shoes, and the end product was to make an advert for a well-known magazine. This is something she had great enjoyment doing.

Chloe always tries her hardest to meet all deadlines, and has a great relationship with many of her tutors, which often results in the staff commenting on her kind- hearted nature and contagious smile.

Outside the class room Chloe loves to catch up with her friends, over a glass of rose. Chloe’s charisma and bubbly personality is very infectious, and she always makes the best out of any situation. Chloe’s all time favourite rapper is Drake, and recently attended his concert at the O2.

In the future Chloe plans to carry on pursing a career in journalism and hopes to study the NCTJ next year, but she isn’t just stopping there afterwards she hopes to land a job as a writer for a celeb magazine, and can’t wait to find out all the latest gossip about all her favourite celebrities.

Chloe’s personality isn’t one that is easily forgotten, and I am sure everyone that meets her would have to agree.

There is no doubt that her ambition will see her living out her dreams in the near future.

Originally wanting to study A-Levels at School, Omar altered destiny by choosing to study a Journalism course at Harlow College. He had always wanted to write about stuff, with stuff in question being videogames, one of his favourite pastimes in life. He enjoys playing them, talking about them, and perhaps most importantly writing about them. Throughout school, Omar had friends and enemies (as people do), but enjoyed school never the less, appreciating what it taught it and the good times he shared there.

People who know Omar often think he’s funny, with humorous outlooks on situations that life throws people’s way, as it does. A person who uses his initiative often in life, he’s never truly afraid of solving the problem by himself, thinking outside the box to get the solution, sometimes tackling the situation head on, sometimes opting for a more tactful way to get there.

During his time at Harlow College, he enjoyed the course very much, enlightened with new journalism knowledge, not to mention the new skills he’s learnt on the way, such as how to interview effectively, approach new and random people to ascertain new information, and how to make a story out of little snippets of information.

After Harlow College, Omar plans to enjoy some more of Harlow’s beautiful scenery by studying the NCTJ Diploma at Harlow College, a highly respected and sought after degree, known for giving people a giant helping of experience in the industry, but those adventures are yet to come.

Luke Page, or just Page if it continues to catch on. Where to begin?

He seems to cause controversy at college, whether it’s his mature dress sense or his funky taste in music, nobody shares in his genius.

He certainly enjoys the finer things in life, whether it’s a BLT from Marks and Spencer or his turtleneck fleece, you wouldn’t see him in Chicken Hut with the boys.

In the words of, well the not so great, Joey Butcher “when he’s not in class, he like’s to indulge in Shinji Kagawa and his beloved dog.”

Now to the least interesting part in this piece of college work, the college work. He was somehow convinced to follow Craig Fantham around London in search of street fashion or as he described it ‘the movement’. He wears a dress.

Craig’s dictionary is hard to read, but it certainly isn’t English, could you define discombobulated? So as you guessed, a joy to work with.

In other news, Luke has explored every path in creative media production, anything but journalism of course.

Luckily, he’s going to uni with the hope of studying journalism, good luck to him, he's going to need it.

There’s a lot you can say about Joey Butcher. He sleeps, he’s grouchy and… okay maybe there’s not that much.

In all honesty, he’s a great lad, just ask the college tutors and none of them would agree. He has an insane love of Oasis and The Stone Roses, but apart from a couple of bands from the 80’s and 90’s he pretty much hates everything from the North. He works on a building site whenever possible and has a worse attendance record than former Journalism student Alonso, but bare in mind that Alonso did move to Spain.

Also, have you noticed how much he looks like Jake Bugg? Like, seriously? Look at his picture! I’m not sure what it is, the hair for a start, and then maybe the depressed, stoner look?  They’re both an acquired taste, that’s for sure.

In regards to the future, Joey is short but his hopes are high. He is a very touchy-feely character, a trait that may one day lead to a prison sentence.

Over the past two years, Joey has become universally liked by the whole class and anyone that's met him at the college. To anyone that has had the pleasure to speak to Joey in college, they'll know he's a great lad, who's funny, kind and has a big heart.

After college, Joey plans to travel around Australia with a friend.

Laura is a hard worker who always aims to

achieve the best possible grade, though she feels in the past she has struggled with the creative side she has worked hard to strengthen her skillset.

After leaving college Laura is going on to study a degree in journalism at Anglia Ruskin University – Harlow, where she hopes to gain all the knowledge needed to start a career in both print and broadcast.

Though Laura is always seen to be working hard, there is also another side to her that is a witty and fun loving character, kind to her fellow classmates she will never refuse anyone help and has become famous in the journalism class for organizing almost everyone’s folders.

Outside of the classroom Laura loves to socialize, travelling to beautiful English destinations, wining and dining in the nicest of places, taking part in charity events such as race for life and next year the London Marathon and regularly attending gig, festivals and concerts.

But above all Laura dedicates her spare time to her passion for film whether it be a trip to the cinema or watching at home from her vast collection of DVD’s, both classic and modern.  There really aren’t many (leonardo Di Caprio) films she has not seen.

A dedicated young student with a passion
for all aspects of the media industry, Laura is likely to succeed in anything she puts her mind to.

Liam will be taking part in the NCTJ Journalism course at Harlow College before later attending University or going into the workplace.

He has constantly been a good friend and source of advice due to wisdom beyond his years. I will always remember his amazing ability to grow a beard quickly and his skills on Photoshop.

Liam has a good taste in music, films and games that have rubbed off on other people including Enter Shikari, Royal Republic and Max Raptor. Speaking from personal experience he is also a first class mosher even if I nearly squashed him by falling over in the pit. With the opportunity to meet Enter Shikari he got to interview them and even have a beer while having a chat.

His interest in music has improved the possibility of Liam wanting to specialise in music journalism in particular as a live reviewer. In a few years it is likely that we will see him writing regularly for the NME or Rolling Stone.

Liam has shown an abundance of confidence through the course, which has made him excel at many of the task, and he has over come a lot of hardships throughout his time on the course and where many would have quit he has persevered.

Many people can identify what a friendly and happy person Liam as they will regularly approach him for conversation, advice and an honest but kind opinion that will help them through hard times. He is also aided by a good sense of humour and string of catchphrases that would not be out of place in a situation comedy.

James is a very individual person who likes to do his own thing and appears to live in his own world at times. A frequent daydreamer, very self-motivated, and a massive optimist James does tend to look on the bright side in tricky situations. James tends to have a chilled approach to work, which in other words means he gets nothing done, and leaves all his work until deadline day where he will then frantically scrape through. James was involved in making a very successful and professional looking documentary about a bus driver a piece of work that James takes a lot of pride in.

James’s twilight impressions are famous amongst the year two journalists and he never looks like he’s prepared for the day. WhenJames is not telling deadpan jokes, he likes to follow up his passions in life, such as impossibly optimistic spurs predictions and nights out that lead to a lot of embarrassing and disastrous memorabilia that will be forever remembered. A grumpy toddler who didn’t get his own way can only better James’s moodiness at times just ask his classmates. James augmentative inputs and sarcastic remarks will be missed when he’s studying History and Journalism at Kingston University in London.

Jordan Maxwell is destined for stand up, his quirky ways and unique characteristics can light up a room. Jordan has constantly shown a bright spark through the course that has gained him the affection of his classmates. He has shown an ability to integrate in new surroundings and apart from a slight shyness he has come into his own and has broken out of his shell, and now shows great confidence.

Jordan showed great communication skills

and creativity when he was leading his to team to success with his documentary “life of the bus driver”.  If Jordan Maxwell does not end up with his own TV show in the future the world would have been robbed of great entertainment. He would make an excellent presenter due to a larger than life personality. I hope to see more of Jordan’s YouTube reviews and to see his channel grow.

Jordan is a spontaneous character, but is

considering doing the NCTJ course or perhaps travelling and gaining an insight into different cultures.

When I think of Jordan I associate him andhis strong friendship with Harry, them two are always talking and laughing, the

two are inseparable, and when they are it is like Barry without Paul Chuckle.

When Jordan isn’t listening to David Bowie, he likes to dress like David Bowie. His face and his Mick Jagger legs can turn the darkest of rooms into a beacon of love.

Harry Chilcott is a student who has been one of the positive surprises throughout the course. He has shown a strong work dedication that has propelled him to having one of the best overall UCAS scores in the class. Harry has taken control over his work when at times there was a lack of uncertainty throughout the whole course; this shows his independence and natural ability to thrive in higher education. Having started out as shy, Harry has adapted to his surroundings and has opened up and is now leaving with a sense of confidence. Whoever Harry found himself working with or being around conversation never failed, due to his wide range of interests and easy going personality, therefore Harry will always be remembered for his fun company. When Harry’s being thought about, his partner in crime Jordan Maxwell always pops to mind, the two haven’t been apart since the start of the course, with their constant chatter and private jokes always apparent when they’re together. Harry has thrived when it comes to the creative units such as photography and film studies, showing off his passion for deeper meaning and art. Harry will be ending his journey in Journalism by studying Psychology and Counselling at Northampton University next year.

Emily Colton began this course to get another step closer to her life goal – to become a successful fashion writer. After two years of studying on the course she has broadened her knowledge of the industry. She is very creative and is a talented writer and most importantly is not afraid to try something new, a skill that is key for a journalist to have. One thing she can take from the course other than her qualification is a growing confidence and a new set of friends.

When she is not in class Emily likes to immerse herself in the latest reality TV shows and daily dosage of Eastenders, its safe to say she likes a bit of drama.  She describes her love of music as a form of escapism and a way to relaxat the end of a hectic day.  She is easy to speak and too and makes friends comfortably. There is always something that she can find in common with another classmate whether that’s music, sport or movies.

After completion of the course Emily is looking to gain work experience in the summer with media companies to learn new skills in the working industry. She is also set to widen her knowledge of Journalism by studying the NCTJ course at Anglia Ruskin Harlow and hopefully move onto to further education in the PR or Marketing field.

A classroom without Josh McGill is like chips without ketchup, like curry without rice, like Dick without Dom. His presence at Harlow College has gained him the respect and love of his classmates, things that he has returned in complete abundance (with a bad roll-up thrown in for good measure). Throughout Josh’s time at college, he has demonstrated many key skills of his that he will certainly take through with him to Sussex University, where he will be studying Journalism. He is particularly focused, so much so that, sometimes, he even forgets to blink whilst staring rapturously into Liam Gallagher’s eyes whilst watching Oasis play at Glastonbury, for the 10th time in the same day. Josh always works to the absolute best of his abilities, and has demonstrated this on countless occasions throughout his educational career, particularly during units that proved to be difficult to learn and understand. Josh is a keen football player, but often enjoys being tackled more than scoring goals, yet makes up for this with his refined taste in music, often enjoying the music of Arctic Monkeys and Oasis, and his passion for Formula 1. Josh is well known for being the joker of the class, but above this he is a passionate journalist and an all round great guy. A friend to everyone, Josh will be missed by all of his fellow classmates.

There are a lot of words you can say about Emma Parish, she’s hardworking, fun to be around and a good friend to have. Emma is a very bubbly and confident girl which makes her very easy to talk to.

She’s an aspiring magazine journalist who loves fashion and hopes to work within the magazine industry some day. Emma’s favourite person ever (apart from Chloe Johnson) is Beyonce, who is Emma’s biggest fashion inspiration. She also enjoys her music and hopes to buy tickets when Beyonce next visits the UK, as she loved seeing her at V festival last

year.

She has a few Merits and mostlyDistinctions for all of her units which she has worked very hard for, she always makes sure she meets deadlines and her work is always organised. Emma is very laid back she never gets stressed over anything and just takes each day as it comes, which is very likeable.

Outside of the classroom I have never known anyone to eat so healthy, every lunch she would eat brown bread sandwiches and fruit. I would love to treat her to a McDonalds some day. Outside of college Emma likes to meet up with friends and have a few harmless glasses of Pino, she also enjoys quiet nights in and going to the cinema when she isn’t working at the Card Factory.

Emma will definitely achieve her plans for the NCTJ course and her other dreams for the future. As she has proved in this course that if she wants something, she’ll work hard and makes sure she gets it.

Other than cycling Maya likes blogging about her eight-legged friends – you know she itches their backs they itch hers. Maya did come join us at the college in 2009 but rejoined again in 2012 to finish her qualification. For the past two years she’s been studying journalism. Once she stood up at the front of the class during a role play exercise, paused, and shouted out something along the lines off “Sorry I forgot my words?” now most of the class are waiting for her to slip up again. Maya’s achieved three distinctions one in communications and another in interview techniques.

Maya did some handy-work as a bike mechanic for Hub ‘n’ Spoke Harlow and she reviewed and updated their Facebook page as administrator in order to gain some extra experience outside of college. Originally she was just supposed to update their Facebook page but after a while watching her colleagues taking apart bikes egged her on her to join in in other parts of the workshop at Bush Fair.

Maya’s all set for university planning to move to Sedley Court in Cambridge and study a degree in Film Studies so that she can go onto review films for popular websites. Before she leaves, Maya’s turning twenty-one, so she wants to travel to New South Wales in Australia or Tel Aviv in Israel to see family before she really knuckles down. She hasn’t seen them for at least five years so taking a mini-break in-between is well deserved.
