I am fresh out of a gap year in 2015 after graduating in 2014 from Unley High School, which I attended throughout all my High schooling years. When I was in high school, I studied a range of different subject with my year 12 subjects being Health, Society & Culture, Nutrition, and English. I enjoyed all of them as it was a good variety of different areas of study. During my final year of high school, I was really anxious with the workload increasing from previous years.
There were stages during year 12 where my confidence had dropped, but when talking to teachers, they gave me a positive outlook for the year ahead. I then become very determined and inspired to prove to family and friends that I can pass high school. I think in high school …show more content…
These courses that I have in mind are Law and Business studies which I am really hoping I can get into one or the other. With this course, I expect to develop the skills that are required to be a successful university student.
It will be very helpful for when I get into a course of my choice because I will know what is expected rather than jump straight into study. Studying at University will be a big step up from my previous study at High school as there is a higher standard required of you during University.

Another strength of mine is reading, I have always been a big reader to the point where I now hardly have any space on my six shelf bookshelf. Whenever really interested in a book it can sometimes only take me up to three weeks to finish it as I read day and night. I think that my strength of reading can really help me to achieve my goals as a lot of reading will be required.
One of the main difficulties I think I will have with achieving my goals is that I often need more support with things. I can overcome this though by relaxing more because when I am stressed I tend to overthink a situation too much. The other difficulty I might be faced with is being able to ask for the help, sometimes I can shy away from asking for it. One of the ways I can overcome this is by reminding myself that if ever stuck that there is support for
