My Learning Timeline


In my life I have had many different opportunities to learn new skills and tools and have learnt to use these in other areas of my life. For instance over the years I believe I have developed several of my skills like my leadership, patience, my ability to learn and confidence. I have also learnt several skills which will help me in work and life such as cooking in a resturant enviroment, how to build and repair computer components and how to work with simple electronics.
Im also proud of the fact that I have concoured some of my worst fears for example I have always been afraid of heights and flying but when I was in the Air codets I had the opportunity to fly in a chinook helicopter and had a flying lesson in which i was giving control of the plane. I have also done some abseiling and mountaineering which has helped me to overcome my fear of heights.

When I have finished my time at university I do hope to move onwards and work for successful games development company's and gain enough experience for my portfolio. This is in order to help achieve my ambition to work for Bungie studios in Washington. I realise that Bungie is a large developer and it is hard to work for them but I hope that after years of working else where and gaining experience I will eventually be able to live in America and work for the team. I hope to be able to gain some respect and recognition within the team but still be an equal in the business.

SWOT Analysis

My strengths include my confidence, learning ability, passion, previous knolage, punctuality, friendliness, effort and patience

My weaknesses of University are that I will have a debt to repay at the end of the course and the work is very stressful and demanding.

Some opportunitys I can gather from this are to firstly learn more about computer games development, to learn new skills and improve those I already have, to meet new people and gives me the opportunity to work for business I want to work for.

Threats I can see are few but big issues such as money and work but these are things that i think i need to worry more about later in my years rather then right now.
