My greatest achievement to date was when I was appointed head of the
6th form Management committee. I have turned it from a minor committee
to a thriving active part of my school. Whilst maintaining the balance
between academic and extra-curricular pursuits I have used my
initiative in starting and managing the ‘Cafe’ at my school to raise
funds for any 6th form investments. Having planned this project from
the outset, I have learnt how to analyse problems and come up with
solutions whilst meeting deadlines and executing a basic business
strategy. These formal positions have taught me vital life skills such
as leadership, planning, working with others in a team, and
delegation. It has given me my first taste in managing a business, and
I am eager to learn more.
