Unit 11: Personal Statement:

 Personal Statement:

Going ahead with my love and passion for videogames was an obvious choice that I didn’t need to think twice about. Ever since the Nintendo DS came out, I have always found myself eagerly waiting for the next game to release just so I can play it and gather inspiration for my own game concepts. Certain games that inspired this idea to begin to create my own games included games as old as Super Mario bros Wii to the Nintendo Switch’s newer releases such as Mario Odyssey and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. 

While in school, the important skills that I have learned over the years are that communication and teamwork are extremely valuable, especially when working in a group of people. With the subjects that I have studied over the years I have learned skills that I can bring to this course to have the opportunity to excel but to also stand out from others. Some of these skills are as simple as maths and English skills but I have also learned creativity and adaptability from my photography GCSE. Arriving at college to start a games design and development course, I knew that the only option after this was to go to university to continue to develop my skills and passion for creating and making games. This college course has made me constantly strive for improvement and to make sure I am giving all of the assignment briefs my best effort. 

With the skills that I have learned for employment, I have learned from work experience was my experience at Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. I had gone to a workshop in 2016 to help them come up with ideas for a potential youth group for the Trust. On that day I was able to speak with one of the workshop leaders that gave me the opportunity to go to an official fundraiser event to make badges for over 4 hours. Not only did this test my communication skills, but also leadership. After this event, I was given the privilege to become the chair of that youth group for 3 years.  

To conclude, to be given a place on this course would mean that I would be able to further my experience and skills in this area. This also means that I can show my creative ideas and unique concepts.
