I am currently studying maths, physics and chemistry at Sir Joseph Williamson’s mathematical school sixth form in Rochester. Following the completion of my A levels, I aspire to attend university, where I intend to study general engineering until I eventually specialise in whichever discipline suits me the best. I intend to make the most of work experience opportunities in as many different disciplines as possible, which will precipitate a more rounded and informed judgement as to which discipline suits me the best.
Although some may think chemistry is quite a mismatched choice compared to maths and physics, I believe it perfectly complements them. For countless disciplines in engineering, the key principles and understanding heavily intertwine with the chemical perception on a general and molecular level. I find the triplet of mathematical fluency and use of equations, paired with the analysis of how objects move and interact through physics, as well as the chemical study of how things change, makes for an extremely well rounded thought process and application ability when it comes to real world problems.
Since birth, I have always had a keen interest as to how things are made and put together; from toys to bridges. My interest in logical reasoning and understanding through science and maths has led me to be utterly sure that engineering is most certainly the future for me. What lies in the future ahead for me, is just making sure I make the right choice as to which discipline is best for me. I intend to make the most of the opportunities around me to achieve this; especially the Rochester Bridge Trust, whom I owe great thanks to for taking me on as a Telford Scholar.
Outside of my academic study, I enjoy sports, especially rugby, as well as the gym. I often like to educate myself about recent advancements in global engineering feats and how they were achieved, so that one day I might be the face of the new world of innovation.
A huge thanks again to Rochester Bridge Trust for taking me under their wing as a Telford scholar.
