I am 18 and i think i have done a lot since i left school at 16 years of age. I have Been on a football scholarship, trying to pursue my dream of becoming a professional footballer when i realised that spending 2 years of my life after leaving school hoping it would happen was to big a of a risk. So i decided to look for a job, I found one in Retail a full time job working a Motor bike store on West Gate Road. This lasted about 7 months before the company went into administration and i lost my job. I again searched for a job but this time took a different view and went for something out of my comfort zone, When i found that the Youth Training Academy were taking people on i applied and was successful. I have been at the YTA/NYFA since July 2013 and i feel i am becoming very professional in the creative digital media industry and only continue to grow. I also work Part time at St James Park serving customers and working behind the bar in the executive suits during match days. I am very passionate about things especially music as i like to write and make music in my spare time, I still love my football and play for a local team on the weekend.
