Civil Engineering personal statement

　　The height of buildings, sturctues and natual occuring phenomenon has always put me in a state of awe. The first memory of such a moment occured when I first viewed the Kaieteur Falls in my country of birth, Guyana which has the title of "largest single drop waterfall". At 741 ft or 226 m the sight of such a spectacle dazzled my mind. There are not many natural sights around that can be compared to the Kaieteur Falls so the next best things were buildings. Man&aposs desire to be more godlike and emulate nature&aposs height and spectacle like the Kaieteur Falls with the creation of buldings in places such as Canary Wharf were more than a suitable substitute to keep my interests alive.

　　Overtime my interest in buildings and the way they are built matured to not only take into consideration basics such as height and size but also to pay closer attention to the smaller details. A perfect example of such a building where every part and fucntion of the biulding plays a critical role is the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China also know as "The Bird&aposs Nest" due to its outward appearance. The actual building had to match its orginal concept model to the exact same specificated degrees that were associtated with the twists in its beams or else to bulding would not have been a success.

　　Within structural and civil engineering is the ability to create unique situations and designs which is one of the many attributes that attracts me to the subject. "The Bird&aposs Nest" again acts as my rerence. In order to create a metal that would be able to twist and turn in the way needed to fit the design as well as provide the strength so that the stadium could stand upright while providing enough sway to deal with possible earthquakes engineers and scientist had to create a new variant of steel that suited their specifications. This level of uniqueness I can associate with as I try to be unique and different in my social life and personal life.

　　From the start of my second year of college I have been working part-time as a Customer Service Assistant at Sainsbury in Whitechapel. Over time my responsibilites at work have grown, with that my abilities to organise, delegate, improvise and compromise have developed while my decision making skills have grown to match that of a typical everyday work force environment. Sainsbury&aposs Whitechapel is the busiest store in terms of customers per hour within the Sainbury&aposs company. Between the hours of 9am to 2pm I am generally in charge of my department and I am responsible for the maintenace and setting up the department for the day. This can mean anything from dealing with customer request, allocating work schedules for other colleagues and signing legal documents. This experience has served me well in providing me with situtations that provide practical and "out of the box" methods of thinking.

　　In preperation for this course my father who is an architect has given me the AutoCad software to help me get used to some of the tools used within the industry. He is also slowly taking me throw how the software works in terms of designing buldings, with the view that it will help me grasp the concept of designing bulidings and what is needed to make them "work".

　　Outside of my academic life I enjoy playing cricket, basketball and golf. Cricket however is my passion, I started playing for my secondary school eventually captaining the school from year 9 until I lt. While at secondary school I started playing for my borough Hackney, and was then highlighted to play for London. Through my cricketing connections I was introduced into the world of coaching, as a result I have acquired and introductory Level 1 coaching in cricket, a Level 1 coachiing qualification in Badminton and UK level 1 Sports Leadership award.

　　By going to university I aim to successfully complete this degree which will provide me with the skills needed in order to have longevity in my career as an Civil Engineer.
