Personal Statement
In my life I believe I have achieved what I set out to achieve. One achievement I am particularly proud of is achieving my LLB Honours Degree in Law. Whilst completing my degree I learnt many traits about myself. Undertaking a degree meant I had to be an excellent timekeeper, punctual, had to have a healthy balance between social and academic activities, learn to budget and more. Not only this but I also had to have discipline as without discipline I would not have completed my degree. I also have many none academic achievements . Although I am proud of the above my proudest moment to date is travelling, meeting new people from different countries and hopefully working in a country which is foreign to me. I am interested in working in either admin and office jobs or bar work and housekeeping. I have experience in both of these fields and would be happy to do either or both.
Qualifications:
