VALUE:

• I can use things i already have learned to help me

By learning from things i have done wrong in the past i can then put the corrections into place so that it does not occur again. E.g in my mock exam i got an E but by going over the things i didn't do i understood what i needed to do in the real exam.

IMAGINATION WITH A PURPOSE:

• I am able to try out new things

By being able to try out new things, especially in things such as coursework, it allows me to be a lot more creative and produce an effective piece of work.

ORIGINALITY:

• I like finding out about new things and new ways of doing things
