5 Reasons why I chose to study on this course...
1. "Home is where the heart is" My friends, family and boyfriend all live in the leeds area, family is very important to me and inspire me greatly to achieve the best.
2. To get involved on live briefs and identifying what I would like to do as my career.
3. Meet new people, I like making friends and socialising, and because the College is such a close knit place its a less scary environment.
4. Its the best course that suits my needs personally and I feel will rise me to the challenge.

5 Things that inspire me...
1. My peers/friends they all have a quirk about them and express their individuality freely this inspires me to strive forward with my individuality, indepence hopefully finding myself.
2. Anything that catches my eye, when I travel I notice adverts in train stations and on billboards, things like new book covers filled with innovative type inspires me.
3. Colour, there is so many colours in the spectrum and its everywhere - I find new colours I like all the time on absolutely anything, I like to experiment with colour when I see fit.
4. FOOD! mmm.. I love to eat and I love to cook when I see something Ive never see before I want to know what it is how its made and make it myself but better! another thing in the category of food would have to be handcraft chocolate yum yum I visited harrods last week and spent tons on the chocolate so many flavours you would not expect to be in chocolate (my favourite chocolate would be Charbonnel et Walker.
5. People, just people. They can achieve so much (not all of them) and cease to amaze me nearly every day.
