Geography is constantly evolving and relevant; this drives my passion for the subject. I am intrigued by the way an individual subject can encompass so many strands of life; for instance the relationship between the human population and the natural environment has immense global effects on diverse issues such as sustainability, migration and globalisation. I am enthusiastic about furthering my knowledge on such fundamental issues, increasing environmental awareness and thereby protecting the futurity of the planet. Geography is the subject that has interested me the most throughout GCSE and A-Level. Having been fortunate enough to travel at a young age provoked my interest in Geography, and the impact it has on nature and human development. My visits to the Jungfrau summit in Switzerland and to the city of Venice interested me at a young age. Also my visit last year to both Melissani Cave and a 100 million year old cave, Drogarati on the Greek island of Kefallinia, has greatly contributed to my desire to study Geography at a degree level. I enjoy seeing life from alternative perspectives and cultures, travel allows me to do this, along with exploring geographical theory in a living setting. …show more content…

Furthermore I feel I have improved many other beneficial skills during my Welsh baccalaureate qualification, such as self-discipline, and the independent research skills needed for undergraduate

The video, The past, present and future of the bubonic plague by Sharon N. DeWitte shows how the Black Death was a very dangerous disease that spread across the world in the 1300’s and how it is still going around today. It affected people for centuries in China, Europe, Asia, Africa and in the Middle East (DeWitte 2014). The Black Death came from a bacteria called Yersinia Pestis (DeWitte 2014). Around 50% of people in Europe died from this disease because of the explosive population growth that happened in Europe. This growth led to families having more kids and being in poverty and that caused them to have more vulnerability to infections.

For me, academics were always a top priority in my life. The achievements that I have fulfilled throughout the years is something that I cannot dream or imagine if education was not a top priority. Academics affects my future drastically because if I took the road to not do what I do today, I would not be able to learn and experience any lessons and not be motivated.

The word healthy can be defined in different ways to different people. But to me, healthy means being fit, being strong and being confident. It also means that people need to be realistic and do what works for them and their body. This includes eating well-balanced meals with wholesome foods, and enjoying some junk foods occasionally. I believe that everyone wants to be healthy but there are some people who don’t maintain their healthy ways such as eating healthy, exercising, visiting the doctor for regular check-ups and constantly washing my hands to protective myself from any harm.
