This allowed the organisation to become more structured in its social media strategy, scheduling content throughout the week and out of office hours to become more interactive with
My perseverance has prepared me for a career in medicine. The path towards becoming a physician can be long and challenging, necessitating the ability to endure. My ability to bounce back from setbacks and mistakes has solidified throughout my journey. One of the cornerstone experiences of my personal development occurred during high school. My determination led to me my graduating as valedictorian of my class, while balancing three varsity sports and several extracurricular activities. In addition, I worked on weekends to help support my family financially. This persistence resulted in scholarship awards that made higher education a possibility.

I grew up in a household where education was seen as a form of self-improvement and empowerment. Being raised in rural Central California by two Filipino immigrants who had nothing more than a high school education, my family did not have an educated or intellectual history I could look up to. That is, until my mother decided to get a college education at the age of 45. I must have been in middle school at the time, before which the word “college” was never really spoken or talked about and I could honestly say I only had a vague idea of what it even was. Rather than having the traditional sit down talk with my parents about higher education, my mom clearly spoke to me through example. I distinctly remember times where I would be her study buddy, and while doing so, I found myself leisurely enjoying the pages of her science textbooks. Instead of asking her questions related to her upcoming text, I inquisitively asked juvenile questions like, “How do the genes make us?” Today I know that this is a very big and complex question that we are still trying to answer. Yet at that moment, I wanted an answer, but mother did not have the solution, nor did the textbook. That was the birth of my pursuit of scientific career.
Towards the end of secondary school I decided to learn sign language and privately seemed a tutor to gain a qualification following which I advanced to Level 2 at the Nottinghamshire Deaf Society, with whom I volunteered for some time. However my most recent endeavour was starting my own business, with the support of my mum, MascotsNottingham Limited. In doing this I had to learn to budget planning and management, conduct my own legal research around business law. As someone who is incredibly politically engaged I joined a local political party and have become the vice-chair of the local group where I worked on establishing the Youth Career Scheme website for young people to gain advice, support and to seek work placements and

Personally, my perceptions on the relationship between gender and crime are greatly influenced by the media as well as a previous Youth, Crime and Justice course I took in university. When watching these shows, I notice that most of the individuals who are involved with crime tend to be male. In addition, even if a female is involved, the police treat them significantly better. For example, the show called the Fosters is one of the only shows that has stood out as having a female main character who is in foster care that is involved with the criminal justice system. Throughout the show, males are also shown in the criminal justice system, however this stood out to me that the main character was female and heavily in and out of the system.

Marketing is a fundamental aspect of all businesses, whether they are set out to make a profit, or charitable organisations - they will have to carry out marketing research of some description.

Furthermore, a public relations career is much more closely grouped with media relations these days than journalism. In the book, Making it in Public Relations: An Insider’s Guide, it is said that Media relations is the most dominant function of public relations. Its basic role is the origination of press information and the handling of requests from the media about a specialist’s subjects and activities. After all, the main goal of specialists is to present a positive public image of their client to the public (Mogel). The possible types of clients and fields vary wildly from each other.
