Thomas Bentley (personal Development Diary)

Generally some very brief posts Tom, but you have shown a number of activities where you are working hard to improve your chances of getting into employment, P8 achieved - well done

Week 10 This week was my final driving lesson. We did more right and left turns. Doing a lot better than when I first started driving.  My handwriting is getting a lot better now. It's still a bit messy due to my condition, But some more work on it should tidy it up. I applied for some more jobs. Hopefully they get back to me soon. 

Week 9 Only a few of the companies I applied for got back to me. None of them said yes. I should look around for more job offers and apply for them.  I practised my hand writing again. It's coming along rather nicely.  

Week 3 This week I practiced my handwriting.  I. getting better and it looks a lot better compared to what it looked like a year ago. I've also been practicing my maths and English.  I've been practicing questions I found online and asking my parents for help.                                

Week 8 This week I practised my turns in my driving lesson. I'm getting better but I need to practice more.  I applied for some jobs and I'm waiting for them to get back to me.

Week 7 This week, my driving lesson was cancelled, so I spent the day improving work and working on my handwriting. My handwriting is definitely getting better. I've compared it to my handwriting from a month ago and there is defiantly a difference.

Week 6 This week I added some more to my CV. I hope to apply for some jobs soon. I also need to apply for some universities soon as well. I want to go to a university in Sheffield. I would really like to go Sheffield Hallam. I hope to join a computing course at a university.

Week 5 This week I had my 3rd driving test. We went back to clumber park to practice my breaking. I feel I did very well this time. Although I could do with more practice.  This week I have also practised my handwriting. It's getting better. 

Week 4 This week I went for my 2nd driving test. I learned how to do right turns. I wasn't very good at it. I did my first shift at work this week. 12-6. I took some orders and served them. I also cleaned some tables. This week I practiced my maths. I did some questions from an practice exam paper. I finished the entire paper and asked my parents to mark it. I got most of it correct.

Week 2 This week I found a job at the Three Legged Stool near where I live. The owner really liked me and he gave me a trial shift for next week. I also start my driving lessons next week on Thursday. I'm really excited to start driving.  - Tom

Week 1 This week, I made a start on my journey to my personal development. My plan is to: Learn to start driving Find a job in the computing industry (preferably web development)  I do need a job asap, and any will do. But a job in Web Development would be my dream job. I shall do my nest to update this every week -Tom
