I recently found a word document of what I had done inside and outside of school from 1995-2000. It’s funny reflecting back on these things.
Inside School
- 1995-2000 I was a member of the school football team. This helped me build on communication skills, teamwork and discipline.
- 1995 I was a member of the school debating team. This helped me build on communication skills, teamwork and discipline. I learned how to co-ordinate work and how to co-operate with other students.
- 1995-1996 Played the ‘Lord Mayor’ in the first year production of “The Thwarting of Barn Bolagrew”
- 1996 I had a poem published in a poetry anthology.
- 1997 I received the prize for ‘Creative Writing’ at prize giving.
- 1999-2000 I received a certificate for achieving most Credit Awards in Year twelve.
Outside school

1996-2000 Worked part time helping in a computer repair and sales shop

My name is Peter Hughes. I am a year twelve student at Drumragh College. My last year at school has been a very busy one. I am working extremely hard for my GCSE examinations. I am studying English Language, Maths, Double Awards Science, French, Technology, Information Systems and GCSE short course Religious Education. I have been able to complete and hand in coursework on time and continued with my part time job in a local computer shop. Through this experience I have learned how to manage my time effectively.
I consider myself to be trustworthy, reliable and very co-operative. I always try to arrive at school and class on time. I always do as I am told in and outside of school and try my best in all areas of life. I often stay after school and attend extra curricular clubs in many areas including Information Systems, Technology, English, Maths and Science.
During my last year at school I went on work experience to P.C. Limited. I thought this was very enjoyable as my interests are in the area of computers. I am also interested in a career in aviation with the Royal Air Force. I have developed this through reading books about technology and flight.
I would like to return to school to study ‘A’ level or ‘GNVQ’s.
I know that if I wish to do so I will have to study very hard now and in the future.
Looking back I didn’t do my A levels I started them and after a couple of weeks left to work full time. There are many different paths! Today my interests haven’t really strayed too much. I’m still an aviation and computer geek :-).
