Communication activity 1

Last Tuesday i enrolled in college at the Honeywell college. It developed my communication skills as i had to communicate with the tutors at the travel and tourism where i showed my GCSE results . I talked about my GCSEs results and explained what i wanted to do in the future which helped me learn more about the course. I could have improved by asking more questions about it so i could know more.

I have communicated through sport as i play football. I had to communicate with my teammates in order to improve my skills. Through my teamwork skills i talk in order to tell people where i am on the pitch and tell people what to do so that we can work together as a team. I talk with my coach so that they can tell me how i can do better.

I have had to communicate when joining a new college in order to make new friends and talk to new people. This has been a hard thing i had to overcome as i didn’t know anyone when joining so i had to talk to new people. This has been successful as i have made many new friends who i can talk to and ask for support when i need it.

In tutorial, I worked with my classmates as a team to create a quilt with all of our names on and had to connect them with strings. This required thinking so as a team we all inputted our thoughts so that we could join them all together. This went well because all of our quilt managed to all fit together to make a big quilt with all of our class and worked together.

On induction , I worked as a team with new people where we had to make a chair out of balloons. When doing this we all worked together so that we could sit on the chair. I think this went well I was able to communicate with my teammates who I have never met before to join the balloons together which helped me make new friends in college.

In our cabin crew lessons we had an assessment for our pre flight briefing. This was a group task where we had to come up with our script together and practice it together as a team and communicate with each other to nail it down.This went well as all of our team passed our assessment.

Motivation activity 2

2349396 — 2023-11-28 13:52:13 UTC

I am motivated to attend college three times a week doing travel and tourism. This is because in the future i want to become cabin crew and i am passionate about travel and travelling around the world. This has motivated me to get my assignments done on time and handed in so that i can get a good grade in this course.

Motivation Activity 3

2349396 — 2023-11-28 13:57:32 UTC

Im motivated to train for this 10k run that i am doing in April. This has motivated me to exercise as i am raising money for Marie Curie who looked after my Mum back in 2021. They helped my mum a lot and so i want to donate money to them and for other people who are seriously ill so this has motivated me a lot to get exercise and practice.

Reliability activity 1

2349396 — 2024-01-09 13:41:05 UTC

When i work as a waitress i am reliable because i always turn up to work on time. My boss can always rely on me to do tasks and make sure that people in the restaurant are served. Because it is a small restaurant i am the only waitress that is working which means my boss and the chef can rely on me.

Reliability activity 2

2349396 — 2024-01-09 13:43:24 UTC

I am reliable at college because i turn up to college everyday and always hand my assignments in on time. This makes me reliable as teachers do not have to worry about me or give extra help as they can rely on me to get my work done and show up to college on time.

Reliability activity 3

2349396 — 2024-02-06 13:07:56 UTC

I am reliable because when in college my friends and tutors can rely on me to help out when they need me. For example on open day, they could rely on me to help the new possible students to encourage them to come to the college.

Mentoring and support Activity 1

2349396 — 2024-02-06 13:42:05 UTC

In my cabin crew assessment i had to support me group when doing the security checks assessments. I did this by helping my group find items in the cabin and talking to them by telling them where we have looked and where to look.

Mentoring and support activity 2

2349396 — 2024-02-27 13:09:55 UTC

In school i was a sports leader where i lead sporting activities to younger years and primary school kids. I taught them how to do the activities while also leading them. This meant i was mentoring and supporting to younger kids as i was teaching them exercises and getting them fit with games.

Mentoring and support activity 3

2349396 — 2024-02-27 13:13:07 UTC

In college i help my friends and peers with their assignments. When they have a question i will tell them what they are supposed to be doing and give them information on the work that they might need. I listen to my peers and make sure they have everything they need on their assignments and give them advice on how to improve it.

As my work experience i worked as a waitress at Nings Thai Street Food. I worked here from September 2023 till January 2024. During this job i took orders and i served customers food and drink to people that came to the restaurant. I was very friendly and polite to the customers and handled the complaints quite well. I gained customer service skills from this job and learned how to handle difficult customers while staying calm. If i did this again i would be even more confident when talking in the kitchen to the staff. From this job i gained work experience and what it is like to work in customer service. I also learned to stay motivated to my job and not give up when stuff got hard at work.

On the April the 21st 2024 i ran 10km run at Yorkshire Wildlife park while raising money for Marie Curie which is a hospice which helped my Mum during her last few months. I raised £440 for them and ran my run in 1 hour and 9 minutes. To the run up to this run i was training every week to make sure i was fit enough for it and to keep motivated . I was feeling confident during the run and it taught me to keep persevered throughout. I had a lot of determination for this run as i was thinking of the outcome. The hardest bit was the last kilo meter of this run but when the run finished i felt good that i had finished it and raised all that money.

2349396 — 2024-04-22 12:54:14 UTC

I volunteered to help primary school kids in their sporting events and run games for them. I was timing the primary school kids when they were doing athletics and leading the races for them. This went well as the primary school kids were having fun while staying fit and healthy and promoting exercise to them. This taught me how be better at leading events and speaking to groups to help them.

2349396 — 2024-04-22 13:50:32 UTC

I can show that i am socially responsible as in college i took part in a sustainability week where i was involved in different activities and made a pledge to look after the environment.

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:19:04 UTC

During college i am resilient as i have been doing my assignments. I failed some of my assignments and in order to get a better grade i have been resilient and improved my work in order to pass my assignment. I also have tried really hard to get distinctions in most of my assignments and been resilient while doing it.

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:21:31 UTC

I have been resilient in work as when working as a waitress as when i am having a bad day and want to go home i am resilient and still keep working till the end of the shift. This means that i can stay resilient even when the work is hard and the customers getting difficult.

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:24:42 UTC

I recently did a 10k run for Marie Curie charity and in order to complete the run i was resilient throughout. On my last km of the race i was getting really tired and struggling to run fast as i had lost a lot of breath. However, i kept going to the end and stayed resilient to complete the run in which i had done to raise money. I managed to finish the run in a good time.

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:26:55 UTC

I have been sustainable as i have been using public transport to get around instead of single rides in the car. This means it reduces my carbon footprint as it means there are less cars on the road. I get the bus every morning to and from college instead of car rides.

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:29:17 UTC

At home i recycle my rubbish and separate all the recycling into separate bins. This means there will be less rubbish going into landfill and more being recycled. This reduces my carbon footprint and makes me more aware of my surroundings

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:30:30 UTC

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:37:25 UTC

I have been sustainable by being energy efficient. This means that i turn all lights off when i leave the room and turning off electricity when i am not using them and i try to save as much energy as i can.

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:40:59 UTC

I am socially responsible as i have raised £440 for a charity called Marie Curie which helps look after and care for people who are very ill. This means that they need all the funds that they can get. I managed to raise this money in honour of my mum by completing a 10k run at Yorkshire wildlife park.

2349396 — 2024-06-11 10:47:10 UTC

When my mum was very ill i went to Scotland where she lived and helped look after her for 3 month while she was ill. This made her feel better as she knew she was with her daughters. We were caring for her so that she could feel better and live as long as she could of.

Doing a travel industry relevant assessment is important as it prepares me for a job as Cabin Crew.

One assesment i did was the safety demonstrations . When the safety demonstration was first shown to me, I felt nervous as I felt there were a lot of things that I needed to practice and remember. I was worried about not being sync with my partner as I felt that was the hardest thing that I might have messed up. However, when practicing before the assessment and communicating with my group on what we were going to do I felt more prepared. During the assessment, I was able to read the script out clearly and loudly to my group so that they could hear and follow along. However, when I was reading out the script, I was going at quite a fast paced, but I realised and slowed down my pace. When I was performing the safety demo, I was able to stay composed and I did everything that i needed to do. To improve, when doing the demo, the first time I forgot to point to the emergency exit so in the future I will remember to point that out. Overall, cI think that the assessment went well as I remembered everything I needed to do.
