Other Blog

I have provided a link to another one of my blogs where over the course of a year me and a group had to create a music video. This required great teamwork and management and lots of use of IT systems.

Evidence

This is some work which I did during college where I had to use IT systems to create a cartoon animation for a drink I had to advertise.

Goal 5: Ensure I always do my assignments to the best of my ability

This goal is correlated to my fourth goal as this will help me achieve my fourth goal. It is a much simpler academic goal where I aim to ensure I get the best possible marks for work I have to submit.

Goal 4: Achieve a 1st or 2:1 degree

This is my academic target by the time I finish my course in university as well as for each assignment and end of year. This is due to the fact that if I want to achieve my professional goals I listed I would need at least a 2:1 as a basis to help me achieve them.

There is no real evidence for this as of yet due however I will update results here as my course goes on.

- So far I have passed all my assignments which are not programming related.
- I have had some setbacks in my programming module but aim to fix this.

Goal 3: Become an entrepreneur

This is an ambition I have had all my life. One of the main reasons for this is due to the fact that I have a very strong will to become successful and use any income I generate to help Bosnian people as life is difficult for many there after the war. Furthermore I believe the only real way to earn a very high amount of money is by running your own successful business you have built.

Goal 2: Have an IT role within a business

One of the reasons I want a professional career in IT is because I have always enjoyed fixing issues related to computers ever since I was young and would see myself enjoying a career in IT.

Evidence:
I have had two successful periods during college and also secondary school where I had work experience in an IT department in a secondary school and also IT systems in a primary school where I was responsible for maintaining computer systems, resolving issues on computer systems and also helping other students which wanted help with their computer systems. This was a great experience as I learn't first hand how IT departments within businesses work.

Goal 1: Have a managerial role in a business

My first professional goal which I have always had is to have a managerial role within a business. This is due to the fact that I have always enjoyed being a leader in any group situation and enjoy taking control of situations.

Evidence:

I have looked at the possibility of summer internships for students on various job websites and company websites:
