Personal Statement: In School Activities I am a pupil in year 11 at The Hollins Technology College. I have studied a wide range of subjects whilst I have been at the Hollins, including English, French, Maths, Science, Sociology, Product Design and Drama for G.C.S.E. I have particularly enjoyed studying sociology as we usually talk about society and how society has changed gradually over the years. I also enjoy studying drama as I enjoy expressing myself in plays and discussions. I am currently studying nine subjects for G.C.S.E. I am a school prefect and sports captain which allows me to be a role model for younger pupils and shows that I am capable of responsible roles. I enjoy playing in the Girls Football Team and so I attend practices every Tuesday after school. I have been in the last Christmas Show when I sang two Christmas songs with some friends.
