I believe I would be well suited to a career in medicine as it would allow me to integrate the logical reasoning of a scientist with the solicitude of a caregiver, whilst working in a constantly advancing, dynamic environment. My A-level studies have provided me with a great foundation for medicine. Identifying unknown substances and problem solving in chemistry is useful when making diagnoses in medicine. Biology has given me a better understanding of the human body. I am interested in the cardiovascular

was able to use professional production equipment to film, edit and produce a news report. I also got an insight into what working in the media was like and the types of software used to create news programmes. I have also taken part in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award scheme, which challenged me physically and mentally. As a result I feel I have developed my patience, tolerance and ability to think logically. I have been a member of GKR karate for the past 5 years and have now reached red belt

Machiavelli explosively introduced me to the world of political philosophy and ever since, I have been unable to find any other discipline which has exposed me to such diverse ideas that have fundamentally shaped the polity in which we live in today. Although my A level subjects may not be typical for PPE, together they have left me with a broad and rounded set of skills that will allow me to approach reading PPE from a unique perspective. The ability to be methodical and accurate is vital for Mathematics

I feel fortunate for the vast amount of knowledge and skills I have learnt about the role of a dispensing optician such as being able to look at

This selfless way of life sparked my interest in front line emergency medicine and I have sought out every opportunity to help me achieve my goal of becoming a paramedic. Wishing to obtain a practical insight into administering first aid, I have studied towards and achieved the St John's

My pursuit of medicine stemmed from the challenges I have faced in my life so far. My brother developed severe acne when I was at a young age, which affected the development of our sibling bond. Even when I developed the condition myself I never understood the adverse effects it had on me until I sought medical advice. When I first went to my GP I thought he would judge me but as I confided in him, I realised that he took a holistic approach towards my care. The doctor's demeanour inspired me to

I enjoy analysing films when I watch
