Learning Line Reflection

My learning line clearly indicates the sought of person I am, confident, caring and always up for a challenge. Having three older brothers I was always striving to keep up and not be left out. This made me courageous, confident and gregarious. At age 5 I traveled to various countries including, Singapore, Bali, Indonesia and Australia and in Australia I attended kindergarten. At secondary school I enjoyed music and played the flute. I also was taught how to use computers and developed my first interest in design. As a sales adviser I gained knowledge of hot to be co-operative and as a waitress developed my people skills. When taking my driving lessons and test I became more confident. I did not stay long at college as I had no goals or aspirations at that point in time and so became an apprentice at a local company. There I completed an NVQ level 2 and went on to work for another company where I completed an NVQ level 3. I was always presentable, friendly and polite and was trained to use technical computer programs. When caring for an elderly lady I had to demonstrate my kindness and responsibility skills. Now in my current position as senior sales adviser I am a role model and responsible for the other members of the team. By attending university I hope to gain a recognized academic qualification, to have more career options and further improve my skills.
