My work experience at the County Courts in Manchester annihilated my ambitions to work in the finance business, I thought that my interest in GCSE maths would provide me with and interesting career where by I work with numbers all day, I was gravely mistaken. So now I am doing everything within my power to make sure I don’t get a  run of the mill nine to five office job. Come hell or high water this will not be my fate.

My experience in the retail industry is also scaring my soul with the corrupt knife of the profit margin. This experience is not all bad, I have learnt independence and how to follow orders and work on my own. I could not do this forever though to be given orders by someone who has been made my manager simply because they have no ambition or want for change. I will not have this job forever, I wish to work on my own terms and my own genre of study. I wish to perform and be involved in a substantial amount of chemical research as a prospective career.

All my life experiences so far sound like a sack of s**t, but no. There is a silver lining in this cloud of work experience and corrupt money grabbing scum. This particular silver lining is Aquinas Collage. My time so far at Aquinas collage have been the peak of my life, the amount of freedom and knowledge offered in the collage environment is smothering me. I feel soaked in opportunities to better my self and expand my knowledge of this ever expanding world, and I am loving it. One such expansion of my mind has been with the Aquinas Collage Hockey team, where once or twice a week I switch my pens for my trusty hockey stick, and work a mix of art and blind fury into a small helpless hockey ball, named mike. I can only hope that university offers me the same prospects to enrich my mind and body.

I am currently working on my third  Novel and 4 masterpieces in the making, whilst running an international fast food restaurant. In my spare time I am trying to cope with 4 A levels and believe you me, that doesn’t leave much time for sleeping.

Throughout my life I have rejoiced in a talent to be extremely fast at getting to grasps with new concepts, I’m quick and keen to learn new topics. This is mainly by the fact that I have a logical thinking process, which enables me to realise patterns and connections with great ease. I enjoy tactical and strategic games because they require logic, chess and warhammer for example. These games require a lot of planning and always thinking two steps ahead of the competition, which I can do with pleasure.

My logical thinking also gives me a vast and easy access to have a great and ever expanding knowledge and interest in computers, I feel computers are a very useful tool for most actions in life so having a specialist skill in computers will be inexhaustible.  YoungScientist provides me with my weekly hit of extra curricular scientific knowledge. This magazine does not have a lot of chemistry content, but it is clear to see that chemistry is the paperweight by which all the other sciences are held on the table of the advancement of the human race. Most of the articles are about psychology, biology or computers/technological advancement.
