Thinking of a topic was really difficult for me but I have one on my mind which I think would be very reportable. My topic will be caring out a research to find out if video games are a learning curve for us, if we can actually learn new skills by letting these games stimulate our minds....
Hopefully my essay will be successful and Intriguing for you to read.

My Learning Line
1998
Boarding school In Zimbabwe: Learned how to look after myself. It was the hardest thing to do at a young age of 8, after being used to depend on my mother all the time. Being alone helped me develop in reading because I referred the book as my only companion I could turn to. In sports, Cricket was well known in Zimbabwe and I would like to think I was fairy good at it and was part of my team
2000
Arrival to London: It was quiet an easy way to interact with people here as I had an English background. My English wasn’t fluent but was acceptable.
2001
Primary School: I improved my reading skills and became associated in sports, particularly in Football. It was tough leaving my Cricket background but my friends got me though it and after a couple of months I started to represent my school in football. It was a very good achievement and till this day I look back and feel proud.
2002
Secondary School: IT was by far the best subject I liked studying. There was something about computer technology that bought the best of me. The teachers told me that when I did IT, I was a very fast learner and I loved experimenting with them when ever I had free time at home. Art was also my favourite. At GCSE level I took those two as my subjects and passed both. English was part of my qualifications as well.
2007
6th form: Due to a lack of efficient GCSE results I had to take BTEC in Business. The course was for three years, one being BTEC First and the other BTEC National Diploma. I achieved both and became business minded. Doing a course for that many years, I had no choice. I don’t regret it though because I leaned a lot of stuff and would take it further perhaps at University.
2010
University: I am very happy to have made it to this level. The only reason I chose computing as my course at this level rather than Business is that although Business was still fresh on my mind, IT was still something I love exploring and I am going to benefit this from University by learning more advanced operations through this technology process. My goal is to be a web designer and I am such a freak at game software’s such as XBOX and Playstation so I would love to get involved and learning how to create games and so on…

SWOT Analysis
| STRENGTHS · I believe coming from an IT background will help me mentally and physically. Having an IT qualification can benefit me from using the Internet to search for particular information that I need. · Having English as part of my achievements can help me write an essay avoiding grammar and spelling mistakes. It also helps me to structure my work professionally. | WEAKNESSES · Not having Maths qualification at my arsenal will definitely cause problems in Computing especially when doing coding concepts. · My lack of asking for help is awful. I always think I can do it by myself but end up struggling. |
| OPPORTUNITIES · As a massive fan of computer games, I am upmost excited to learn and gain experience on how to design & construct a web site from the bottom up. · I am well aware that this world revolves around Technology and so is in the work industry. My goal is to get a Degree in this course to make my life easier. | THREATS · My main worry is that I am terrible at organizing my work. I can’t keep to the deadlines set. Hopefully now that I am at this level, my mind set is different. · Sometimes I fall behind and gets hard for me to catch up, especially at University level. This wouldn’t be an issue hadn’t I started at the same time but unfortunately I arrived two weeks late. |
