Being able to elaborately study all the sciences along with the overall concept of the program being oriented around “hands on” experience and collaborative group work excites me. Most of my free time is spent finding answers to my burning questions like, “The world without humans”, watching Ted Ed videos and reading articles. With this program I will be using my curiosity within the curriculum to find my own answers or to come up with strategies in finding a possible answer. Academically, being able to continuously gain firsthand experience by working in labs will help my understanding of the concepts. Personally, learning how mitosis works by reading a textbook is not as beneficial or valuable as observing the cells undergoing the process …show more content…

Personally, I was thrilled about this challenging task however, some group members felt intimidated by the challenge and lacked motivation and interest. To ensure group success, I divided the project up into smaller portions and distributed the responsibilities based on interests and skill level. This increased their confidence allowing them to openly discuss and share ideas while being driven and focused. From this experience, I have learnt the importance of understanding how the group feels prior to starting a project and keeping everyone engaged. Contrary to this experience, while volunteering at the library, our supervisor was unable to attend one of our events. Another staff member who was filling in, was unaware of the event or the process. Instead of panicking, my team collaborated effectively by discussing ideas and taking on responsibilities respective to their areas of expertise. With our amazing teamwork and group effort, the event ran smoothly. From this experience, I learnt the importance of everyone being united towards the team goal and taking initiative to solve problems

When it comes to university I've always known that I wanted to attend, although I was always slightly indecisive about the actual course I wanted to take however, I have always been fascinated by the ever-changing industry that is fashion, so obviously once I decided on the course/subject I wanted to do I knew incorporating fashion would be the right way to go. After looking into things I decided I would like to do fashion communication, as it sounds very interesting as a course itself but also broadens my horizons for when I begin to plan my future after university and the job roles I could apply for. Fashion interests me the most because I feel you can tell a lot about a person from their opinion and choices of fashion, before you meet them.
