Task 1: Your application (Word Count – 500 Words)
I applied to Newcastle College as I am hoping to move to the North East, I found this course through researching online. Through extensive research I found that Newcastle is one of the very few places that do this particular course in the UK, in the end I only applied for this one as I fell in love with Newcastle and I discovered that this is the place that I really feel I have to be.

However upon reading the article further, I can now see how disruptive behaviour can be seen as challenging and extremely difficult and I can understand how one can turn into the other as disruptive is a wide term. When I am speaking of disruptive I am speaking of minor disruptive children such as talking and throwing paper balls, but I can see that others are speaking of children who cause bigger disruptions. When people speak of difficult students, I imagine a student who is being uncooperative and refusing instructions completely, I find that these kinds of students would be hard to work with and I also imagine that this student could also be a disruptive student so again I believe that there are parallels between all three types of
