Personal Statement

Endless numbers of extraordinary content and theories in chemistry continue to interest me and have fuelled me to research further into my current studies in addition to extra-curricular reading around the subject. Chemistry holds many unique qualities; for example the ability to calculate the number of particles of air present in any room given the room volume and standard conditions. I personally find this hugely intriguing especially with the knowledge that there are likely to be approximately a power of 10 to the 27 air particles in the room. Alongside chemistry content, the privilege of studying three sciences and mathematics has provided me with a strong desire to pursue chemistry at university, contributing further to my eagerness to

Through practical endorsements, I have established a willingness to demonstrate experiments to the class for both organic and physical chemistry, thereby building confidence in myself and working to the best of my ability. The only student completing an Extended Project Qualification in year 11 in the area; I achieved a very high mark, and gained observable qualities in terms of planning my own project, research skills and recording data. Alongside a lengthy essay, at the end of my deadline my task was to present to a number of members of staff and students. With dedicated staff asking a myriad of questions, I had to be prepared and have complete understanding of my chosen subject. Therefore I improved on determination and perseverance to learn the content fluently, and this continues to fuel my will to take chemistry to a further level. Researching water fluoridation brought me deeper into a different area of chemistry inaccessible from a level content, the broadness of such a dynamic subject completely fascinating, raising enthusiasm for my desire to study chemistry at a university
