Having arrived halfway through the academic year, I had to complete two years of work in one year. The support and guidance I received from the staff at Belle Vue helped me complete my GCSEs successfully and then pick up A Levels in History Sociology and English Literature. Took a gap year I undertook both paid employment and voluntary work. As one of the Very first members of the Bradford Youth Action team for Vinvolved I helped promote youth volunteering across the Bradford district during my gap year. I went onto study British Politics and Legislative Studies at Hull University. I will be starting my internship as researcher to the shadow foreign office minister Stephan Twigg from September 2011. This will give me the privilege of walking the corridors of power for a year, and experience party politics at first hand.

With help and guidance of staff at Belle Vue I managed to achieve 8A*s- Cs at GCSE despite arriving halfway through the academic year. I then studied Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics at A Level. After leaving school I took a Gap year during which I worked full time with people with challenging behaviour whilst being part of the Vinvolved Youth Action Team, promoting Youth Volunteering across Bradford. I then went on to study at St George’s Medical School London. There I held the position of Head Of Events in Teddy Bear Hospital Society, which educates primary school children about medical procedures. I am currently involved in a summer dissection programme which includes dissecting human cadavers for the benefit of new medical students. I will soon be starting a BSc research project on “human-specific bacteriophage in MRSA” which will help provide a solution to overcome MRSA in future.
