My ambition to study for a degree in healthcare science originated from the past history of my family. Due to three deaths in my family, all due to heart attacks, it has really motivated me to want to study about the heart in depth and gain deeper knowledge about the heart. My …show more content…
I am very enthusiastic to do healthcare science as a degree at university as I love problem solving and challenges, I am an analytical thinker and solve problems quickly and effectively. I can break down complex problems into single manageable components, I have done this through my BTEC course. I have completed an assignment about the heart in my BTEC course, this was my favourite topic, I really enjoyed learning about how the heart functions and I would love to know more about the heart in-depth at university.

From the BTEC course I have learnt to work independently. I have also developed many skills such as teamwork, leadership, listening, organisation and time management skills. These skills have been developed throughout my BTEC course as I have kept with all my assignment deadlines, worked independently during practical work and also worked with others in a group which has built my teamwork and communication skills. I have very good leadership skills, during my studies I was once lead student, I took up many responsibilities and part of my duty was to ensure young students were obeying the school rules at all times. I have also been in difficult situations where I have had to intervene when students have got into a physical fight and I have also dealt with cases such as bullying and I tried to solve these matters by approaching them in the best way possible. From this experience, I picked up and developed skills such as communication skills as I interacted with students when they needed my assistance. I am also very good at problem solving and precise at recording and analysing data as I have done this during my assignments in BTEC, when carrying out experiments, I recorded the results and analysed the results of the experiment.
My outside interests are going to the gym to keep myself fit and healthy and I believe this is important if I do a degree in healthcare science, as I want to set a good example for
