MY JOURNEY TO THE Y UK Since I was a child I had this big passion of fulfilling one of my dreams, and that was taking the journey to the UK. Going abroad was something I needed at that time in my life but I didn’t know how and where to get started preparing it. The Idea came along that I needed a job to start with the whole plan worked out, although the situation in the country was a bit shaky with rumours going around the country that they could be war if the leading political party loose his vote at the election in 1997. After finishing my last year of presentation at school, therefore I went for job hunting. Believe me it was not that easy as I thought, things didn’t work out the way I planed them to a point I found so hard to get a job. I spent twelve months looking for that job, unfortunately I couldn’t find one and then I gave up the idea of preparing my trip to the UK. I involved myself into a small business of selling goods. I was selling different retail stuff at the market, as times went by and the election was getting closer. My dad was into politic and one day he invited me to one their political meeting and the speech was all about how and what could everyone do or bring the idea to their political party called FRODEBU to power. I got offered the job by Frodebu to distribute propaganda’s leaflet for them. I use to travel around into different provinces in the country just to distribute them leaflet to promote the aim and changes of Frodebu party was willing to bring in the country. Frodebu did so well according to the work we all had have put in, finally the Frodebu won the election and so everyone was happy for the new regime into the power. It didn’t take even a month then a civil war came where our president was kidnapped and killed, people went mad by start killing each other with knives, guns...etc My Life goes on... For the past six years, I have fallen in love with the pain of hard working to get myself on top where I always want to be, I would state this as a dream come true. Therefore I have decided to take a BTEC course in Business to add and expand my knowledge as I always be interested doing business. During these two years while waiting to complete my BTEC course, I have been working so hard to complete my tasks in time given by tutors; it came to a point where I saw that my future was assured as I was on the right path. I said to myself I have to complete my dreams to reality; and that was my ambition see myself at University doing my Degree and Masters courses. This is because I see myself as a well organised person and most of jobs I had in the past, I have been chosen as a team leader and I always feel that I got that leadership in me and also I am very good on saving money therefore I took quiet few selections of course which I could fit in and prepare a better asset for my future life and my family. Business course means everything to me because it is the most key relevant to everything we do and plan in our lives, think of anything business goes with it. The most interest pushes me to do my business degrees and masters courses, I always want to work with different communities especially my community, open a business that would help different people from the different communities to move on with their lives while being in the UK. As far as I am concerned, education is always my main intention and key success into my life, I have learned how to work under pressure and stay focus until I get things right while working on my tasks. I have discovered the beauty of life within education. Few things I had learned while doing my BTEC business course, I have been able to practice some of them at work and my bosses have been impressed with the changes and development that I have share with the company. I am a well organised person and always intend to get the task done in time, by doing this it gave me the opportunity to gain skills and understand the subject which has been taught in class. There are few subjects that I really enjoyed, Recruitment and selection services, marketing, business communication, business resources, marketing and many more, I had worked so hard on these subject and even get good result on them. The most subject that I am proud of is my dissertation project that I had managed to develop it and bring good result on it through my hard working but I have to admit that it was a hard work to complete it but I am glad and proud I did it. I am a quiet and good listener person who never take anything for granted, education has open doors for me which I always consider everything that I have learned and take it on board. I am a quiet good on creative works and sociable person. When I am stress while doing my work I prefer take a short break for a breathe air and refreshment. I love sports, playing football go to gym and listen to music. I believe I am a good candidate student because when I look through these years that I have been into education’s life I hated to be behind my work, I am a very committed and hard working person who always want to get things done in time, in 2010 I have been awarded as a “student of the week” for working diligently on my studies and for handing in work to specified deadlines. “I am convinced that I have the necessary dedication and determination to succeed and would benefit from a university degree”.
