My Learning Line...





I started my learning line at Primary School, this is because I feel this is where I learned the skills I needed to take me onto Secondary School, I made friends who I was friends with throughout school and I was happy with my academic skill. I then moved to Secondary School, this was a huge learning curve in my life. I hated every minute of my secondary school life, but this has made me stronger as a person and has made me how I am today. I have been part of a few football clubs, the two I have put on my learning line were my first and last football clubs I had a coaching position at, these clubs have helped me learn what and how to perform tasks professionally, I these clubs have helped me develop into a better coach and person. The most important part of my learning line is my girlfriend. I met my girlfriend, and she has made me a better person than I was, she keeps me on the straight and narrow and by having a girlfriend I have learned that making someone else happy is sometimes, better than making yourself happy.

SWOT Analysis
I have notified my strengths as the following; I am a very punctual person so I am very rarely late to anything I attend, I am good at written English and I am an athletic, sporty person.

My weaknesses are that I am impatient, I do not like having to wait for a long time, or if I am delayed on a train journey for example, I get very irratable. I also do not have many interests, I tend to stick to sport and my general interests, but I like to think that i'm quite open minded and that I am able to attempt new things and broaden my horizon.

The opportunities at University are endless, I think the ability to learn and use new software for the computers is a great advantage, the library is also a big advantage as it is so big, so we will struggle to not find the book we are after. I also think that having the oppotrunity to make new friends is important, as I would hate to go through the next three years at Uni on my own! Finally, I think the Gym is a very big opportunity, for £28 per year, you can't really go wrong, so I think that is where I will be spending most of my free time!

I have thought about the threats of being at University, and a few fears I have are that of not passing, train travel and having to pay back the student loan which will be a massive debt!
