About me

| Friday, 24 September 2010 | |
I'm 24 years old and studying Engineering (HND) at Anglia Ruskin University. I have been out of education for 6 years, during which time I worked permanent night shifts at the engineering factory Delphi. It was during my work there that I realised I enjoyed engineering and was given the opportunity to become involved in a training programme. I worked hard and achieved "excellence" in my final assessment. I became aware that for me to progress into becoming an engineer I would need a degree. Entering higher education will be a challenge for me but it I realise it is necessary for me to reach my goals in life.

My first experiences of University have been positive. It's clear that everyone is friendly and willing to help me succeed but I must admit I am a little confused by the bombardment of rules and regulations sometimes. Hopefully as I settle in everything will become much clearer.

When I’m not working or studying I like to play my guitar and do a lot of online gaming. I like horror and science fiction films and collect rare DVDs and signatures. I listen to hard house music mostly but love heavy metal and rock too. I've been to lots of gigs and clubbing events around the UK and abroad.
Stephen King is my favourite author, I rarely read anything else.

Hi Andy - a good start, I know the Delphi factory - isn't it closed down now?
Please could you post your learning line and SWOT analysis

Thanks, I've updated the rest of my work.

Although the recession was a difficult time for the industry, Delphi made it through and is still running.
