Applying to Jobs: giving my CV to different companies. I feel that it developed my communication skills as it meant me putting my name out there and trying to find ways to fill my spare time productively. I feel I did well just being able to get over my fear of speaking to new people in a professional manner however I feel I could’ve shown more of my personality.

Enrolling to college: I went up to college to enrol in public services, this developed my communication skills by going in and talking to new people and tutors which can be quite intimidating. I did well with my confidence and asking questions and I don’t think there’s anything I could’ve improved on.

Public transport: Talking to bus drivers to get my ticket for college every morning, askint about prices and using basic manners. I think I do well in this by presenting myself in a friendly manner to make everyone feel comfortable around me. I think I could improve on this by not stressing about it so much therefore being able to speak louder and more confident.

I motivate myself to get up and go to college three times a week, it doesn’t sound like much of a struggle however as someone who struggles with mental health and staying motivated it is an achievement. I do this by reminding myself that at the end of my course there will be greater achievements than just persisting and pushing through the morning along with grades I can reach. In the long run I am reminded that this will turn into a long term thing and the idea of having a good future helps me manage.

Helping classmates with assignments: Proofreading my classmates assignments and sending them my finished ones as reference to help them along. This developed mentoring and support skills as I supported another person with a task I had already completed therefore already had enough knowledge on

Another way I developed my mentoring and support skills is by helping my best friend through a hard time with her family. I allowed her to stay over at my house for a few days until she felt ready to go back home and it improved her mental health quite a lot.

I stay motivated by listening to music, mostly Lana Del Rey and Fiona Apple. Listening to music helps me to focus on assignments for college and calms me down at the same time. This is good as during big loads of work I tend to get stressed and side tracked.

To stay motivated I make sure to exercise often and drink enough water, this helps to remain focused and not only keep my body healthy but my mind too. This is good as exercise helps me to sleep and drinking enough water makes me feel better mentally.

When I turned 18 I registered to vote, this is social responsibility as it gives me as an individual the chance to vote on things that will impact me and my life.

Another way that I practice social responsibility is by picking up litter or reminding my peers of the damage to the environment it does to litter, this helps me to be socially responsible as I am taking charge and accountability for the people around me and myself that could protect us further in the future.

Another way I am sustainable is by purchasing my clothes from sustainable and reliable brands which are ethical and transparent. This also helps to prevent landfill overflow, it is also a lot better for factories in china for example which pollute the environment a lot.

Evidence 3

Finally, I stay sustainable by purchasing reusable water bottles and grocery bags. It is important to think about small things like bags and bottles that we use everyday, rather than throwing something away just to buy another we can buy a reusable version of that product which in the long run is a better investment.

As part of my leadership assignments, I took charge of a 4 person team to demonstrate the development of my leadership skills. This developed my confidence and self-esteem. This is because I am taking charge of putting people on tasks and giving them their roles, not just this but I also have the responsibility to make things function efficiently.

Another way that I have developed my leadership skills is at work, even on the front counter if someone is missing something from their order I am responsible for taking charge of that and correcting the mistake to deliver the correct and up to standard service.
