My Personal Statement Towards Sixth Form

Quite simply, I would like to further study Drama because I would like to be a star. Well, actually there’s more into it than just simply becoming a “star”. I have chosen the subjects I would like to take for valuable reasons. I would like to further introduce myself by saying that as a young man who has a strong passion for both Theatre as well as Literature, sometimes my spare time is either taken up by: watching or reenacting scenes from films or plays, or reading and writing stories. Although it may seem bizarre that a young person at my age would be interested in such a thing, I would gladly admit that this is how I spend my free time at home. Though reading a text is simple and easy, I prefer to further understand the text in which I explore the character’s thoughts and emotions, as well as understanding the writing style of the author, and finding some hidden implications or meanings behind them as this has always interested me. However, I am also passionate towards matters that assist on solving problems within the world, Foreign Service for example. I am a person who has different passions, but when it comes to those three, they are all that I truly love doing.
I have chosen subjects such as English Literature, Drama, Media Studies, and ICT for they all are subjects that not only catches my interest, but they are also those types of subjects that keeps me interested and I enjoy doing.

It was not long ago when I was thinking of what I would like to become for my future career, however I have discovered within myself that I have an interest in the career of ‘Communication’. From what I’ve researched and read, it seems that communication contains fields that covers two of my passion, being the Theatre and Literature, thus I believe that I if I further take on this challenge then I know I can reach it for sure. I feel that I can surely cope with the idea of having more intensive studies for fewer subjects as it will help me focus a lot more, especially since I’m focusing on something I am passionate about.
So far, I’ve only had a few achievements within DES. It was also not long ago when I decided to take on more tasks that I found challenging yet enjoyable, however as of today, I represent DES for some events whether in or out of school. I began the fun-filled Model United Nations circa Year 9 where I further develop my public speaking skills and research skills, and am still continuing it. I’ve also been a part of the Key Stage 4 committee since the beginning of Year 10, and have recently joined the Student Council. One of the achievements I have certainly been most proud of was winning the “School Citizen” award two years in a row, for not only does it show my dedication towards the things I sign up in, but it also tells me that I am a part of the school. I’ve joined clubs such as the School Orchestra, Model UN, 4th Dimension Magazine, Insanity Club, Acapella Club, and Gym Club. I enjoy taking on different challenges, hence why I take different types of club. I also take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award, having completed the Bronze Award and on my way to complete the Silver Award. Finally, one of my most favourite activities was joining the BSME Performing Arts Festival where I took part in the acting sessions and workshops along with those who are passionate for Drama as well.

I believe that I can offer a lot more within Sixth Form. As a student who loves to take part in many things, I for one am not afraid to take on more challenges as I enter Sixth Form. I’ve heard many great things about Sixth Form, and I cannot wait to join! Some Sixth Form members have mentioned the Sixth Form magazine, and if this is true, then I will not hesitate to immediate join it! As a member of both Key Stage 4 committee and Student Council, I feel that I can suggest more of my ideas to the Sixth Form committee as I do in both KS4 Committee and Student Council.

During my earlier days in the MUN, I recall thinking to myself “I’m going to make it up there someday” as I look at the Executive Team. As I enter Sixth Form, I will strive my best to make that goal come true, which I’m sure with my effort and dedication, I can surely reach! I’ve also got the goal of becoming the ‘Head Boy’. Yes, it may seem bizarre that I would say such a thing, however, I remember just last year when Mr. Williams approached me to join the Qatar Leadership Conference. To be honest, I never thought that I belonged there at beginning; I thought that I was a follower. It never came across to my mind the thought of joining, but when I saw Mr.Williams’ belief in me, I then realized that I wanted to be more. After that moment, I changed my whole mind about myself, I began to see more of me, as if I’m beginning to know more about myself than I ever did in the past. Now, as I enter Sixth Form, I will continue to work my best in order to reach that goal, and to impress those who truly believed in me from the start, because I believe that anything you truly want has to be worth fighting for.
