gineering advances have never failed to captivate me. for this reason, i havealways tried to find out how such things function, and about how they have hadan impact on the society we live in today. coupled with the fact that i havealways enjoyed the logical and problemsolving processes involved in maths andphysics, i decided several years ago to embark on a career in engineering.since then, i have endeavoured to find out as much about engineering aspossible. i researched the great engineers such as brunel, and discovered thegreat works they had pleted. i have attended several engineering conferences,the most recent of which i was selected to speak live on radio about myexperiences. and once i had pleted several weeks worth of work experience, iwas assured that it was the career that i wanted to pursue.this summer, i took part in the nuffield bursary scheme for a month,working in a team, at aerogistics ltd. our project was to analyse and implementa new system for the distribution of consumable materials to the inspanidualdepartments within the pany. we found the current system to be highlyinefficient and after much data gathering and thought, presented our findings tothe senior managers of the pany who agreed with our ideas. the last week wasspent starting the implementation of these ideas. i found the experience to behighly challenging, yet rewarding especially as it led to me gaining a goldcrest award. i also found it useful as i got to see engineers at work and thedaily problems that they face. i learnt that there is a lot more to being a goodengineer than possessing technical petence, although this is undoubtedlyimportant。 team work, munication and leadership skills are vital as well.i have also recently been selected to plete two placements with armyengineers. one of these placements will focus on the more practical side ofengineering while the other will focus on the skills needed by a professionalengineer focussing on project planning and leadership. i hope to find theexperience useful.in my spare time i like to play sport and music. in secondary school i wascaptain for the netball and football teams, as well as taking part in variousother sports. the experience of this greatly improved my team working abilitiesas well as my fitness. as a keen musician i am working towards my grade 5 theoryand grade 7 practical on cello. i am a member of a youth orchestra, and havejust recently pleted a tour of italy. i am also in the school orchestra andhave led several orchestras in the past, before progressing to the lyo.in school, i am deputy head girl, helping to lead a team of over 40prefects. i find this to be a challenging and stimulating role and believe ithas developed my confidence immensely. as well as carrying out the normal dutiesof a prefect, such as super 白話文…vising younger students, i must lead and manage theother prefects. my role involves arranging rotas, organising after school eventssuch as the year 7 social and parents evenings and public speaking as well asother responsibilities, which
