Application to the Academy!

Yesterday my Physics teacher gave me an application form for a Physics Academy in London during the Summer and I've been trying to write about 'why I would like to be accepted into the academy' for hours and hours (with help from my wonderful dad!)... It's so hard! Also how cool would it be if I was excepted into an 'Academy'?! This is my application piece (it is 3 hundred words, I don't blame you if you want to stop reading now!)

'I have a genuine love for Physics and submit this application as I believe that acceptance into the Academy will provide me with the opportunity of developing and expanding my knowledge. Attendance would also give me the opportunity of meeting others with similar interests and ambitions.

At the beginning of this academic year I chose Physics as an option because I saw it as an opportunity to widen my mathematical knowledge.  However, I can genuinely say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire Physics course, so much so that I now wish to continue my studies in the subject at University. Even with concepts which have proven particularly difficult to grasp, I have tirelessly worked at to gain a proper understanding. A level Physics has certainly helped me to enhance my perseverance and determination in my studies.

My interest has grown throughout the past eight months from the excitement of visiting the Diamond Particle Accelerator in Oxford to attending a two day Physics course in November at Nottingham University.  I have always enjoyed a challenge and Physics is a subject which continues to push me to the best that I can be.

This year I was given the opportunity of becoming a Physics mentor. I enjoy looking at Physics from this different perspective and also as it allows me to enrich the learning of others as well as myself.

I wish to follow a career in Physics and it is my current intention to study Mathematical Physics at University when I complete my A Level studies.  The Academy will enable me to build on the practical experience I have already learnt at Sacred Heart, prepare me for University and assist me in attaining the appropriate grades in my A Level studies.'

Congratulations if you made it to the end!
