When i enrolled in college i had to sit down and have conversations with different people about why i wanted to do the course and ask/answer any questions there was. this really helped with my communication skills as i was talking to staff that i was unfamiliar with.

i currently have a part time job at Cannon hall garden centre which involves making coffee for customers and waitressing (taking food out and putting pots in the kitchen). This helps my communication skills as i have to interact with colleagues and the customers. Working at this job has helped my confidence when talking to strangers.

At the moment I do not have any hobbies that I am currently interested. However I used to do horse riding which helped with my fitness.
Me and the rest of the class could have a group discussion which could help everyone's communication and ability to talk to people whilst learning more about our piers. I think a talk with some of my tutors like Saff or Jazz could also improve my communication skills as with the career I want to per sue I will have to become able to talk to adults confidently.

Evidence 1- Team quilt

1-Explain the task- We had to write our name and things we like on a piece of paper and join them all together to make a student "duvet" about the whole class.

2-How did this develop your Teamwork skills? This developed all of our teamwork skills as we had to work together and create a system that helped us complete the task. We had to communicate to make sure we were doing the task accurately.

3- What went well? We all managed the get the task completed quickly and efficiently.

4- What could you improve? More of the class could have gotten more involved with the task which would have boosted the accuracy and time taken to do it.

Evidence 2- TUTORIAL

1-Explain the task- We had to walk around our college campus and find pieces of information Saffron had written down for us. We each had groups and tried to find bits of information as quick as we could. For example, which car belongs to Saffron.

2-How did this develop your Teamwork skills? This developed our teamwork skills as everyone was working together to find, for example, which car was Saffron's and give each other clues.

3- What went well? We all managed to answer all the questions on the sheet whilst finishing at a certain time.

4- What could you improve? My group did not complete the questions in order so it felt like we were unorganised. If we had completed the questions in order we could have finished early.

Evidence 3- BV TASK

1-Explain the task- All of the class had to write down on a piece of paper what it means to be British. For example, fish and chips and the royal family.

2-How did this develop your Teamwork skills? This developed our teamwork skills as everyone stated their ideas and so we managed to have various ideas.

3- What went well? We managed the think of ideas that were different to the rest of the class.

4- What could you improve? Me and my group could have thought of other ideas that were less vague.

I helped Romie overcome her trigger by listening and comforting her so that she did not feel alone and struggle. I advised her to take care of herself.

when making plans with friends or family I make sure I do not let them down by cancelling.
this allows me to keep a connection with my friends and family and show how I want to spend time with them.
I show them that I am reliable by messaging them the day before making sure they are still ready for the day we will spend together.
if I need to cancel our plans I will make sure I ring them before and also organise to meet a different day

keeping your bedroom tidy
this will create a better mindset and will help you feel more organised and positive at the start and end of the day.
I try to keep my bedroom tidy so I can create an organised mindset which will lead to me to be able to focus on important things like my college work.
I could improve this by putting all of my stuff away and organising my college work into folders

getting up and going to college and completing college work on time
this will allow me to be up to date with my college work and complete other tasks I have been set or set for myself
I try to complete my college assignments on time so I do not put pressure on myself later on nearer to the deadline
I could improve this further by starting my assignments when they get set instead of leaving it and giving myself less time
