A:
Personal characteristics.
- I consider myself to be a quiet person but have learnt to mix with other people and widen my interests and circle of friends. I am planing to study at ARU I will join clubs such as anime club, dr who club and gaming club to increase my contacts and social confidence every year I go to a small convention in Cambridge and I will continue to do this for years to come to make friends and networks.
- I enjoy reading fiction books from other parts of the world.
- I am a tall person and my height may be off putting to others but I am softer than I appear.
- I have younger brothers that keep me busy and join me with the card games I play.
- I consider myself to a responsible adult.
- I am not really a party goer and do not live the life of a normal 19 year old. I would rather go home than go into town at night. This may be because of my Aspergers or may be down to the way I want to be.at university there will be plenty of other people with Aspergers that share my interests and this will also increase my confidence and network opportunity
B:

C:
Relevant achievements.
- I made a documentary on Cosplay in 2014 which took me 2 months to complete. This was mainly film in Cambridge with the permission of other Cosplayers.
- I made an Ad campaign for a local business in Cambridge. This was for a store called "Backstitch" We were advertising the store to encourage people to visit the store itself. This was with a sliding advert for sowing classes. There was also a flyer and a news paper advertisement.
- A local singing artist requested a music video to be filmed by some students, I volunteered for this along with some other students. We filmed the artist over a period of a couple of hours and each of us edited our own version. Once completed, I then uploaded the video to the internet. Link attached for your information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr2XPl9DRvw, I am interested in doing more of this in the future.

for the short evaluation these are some of the skills I am good at/ skill i will need later on once i go to a further level of education. my writing and spelling skills need some work at ARU they run study skills work shops to help improve this areas and I will join these
am good at camera work, picture editing,idea development,my maths skills are good and I have level 2 diploma in science which may come in useful in gaming topics.
i am ust about to complete a level 3 media diploma and after that i am planning to study a BA in computer game technology skills. i am not sure of what I would like to do after i have finished at ARU but may consider further study. I will need are basic understanding in programming, Software Engineering, Basic Maths for Technology,3D Modelling and Animation. those skills are needed when it comes to making a computer game, they are some of basic things you need to do while making a game
