Personal statement
In my second year of studying a Foundation degree in Criminology, looking to secure and
peruse a career in the Criminal Justice System.
A highly motivated and determined individual, who didn’t leave school with the best
qualifications but then went on to pass my Maths and English in college, along with receiving
a triple * Distinction in Public Services, completing other courses and programmes such as an
Employability course and Alcohol Awareness.
My volunteering position as a young offender mentor has inspired me to want to work with
ex-offenders as a profession, helping them get back on their feet and back into society. I
believe everyone deserves a second chances no matter what wrong they have done.

Hobbies & Interests
Other than my volunteering in my spare time, every summer since I was 16 I have
volunteered at the summer fair events in my local community, helping to make sure
everything is set up and running smoothly, along with making sure all the health and safety
measures were in place.
An interest of mine would be reading newspapers and watching the news, keeping up to date
with what is going on in the world. I find it very important to know what’s going on and not
being ignorant to events that happen all around the world.
