During my time at the University of Worcester, the achievements I accomplished include receiving my Worcester Award., which was a bronze award. To achieve a bronze award I needed work experience, personal development activities, and employability activities. It was difficult to find employability activities as I needed experience from places based on my course and in particular, it was really difficult finding experience in a law firm in Worcester as it is a small city and therefore was competitive to find work experience or volunteering position and many law firms declined me. I also tried the magistrate's courts and the crown court in Worcester and Birmingham they couldn't accept me because of confidentiality issues. However, I didn't give up and I got accepted by Citizen Advice Worcester, where I currently volunteer every Thursday as a research campaign and advice worker and it's interesting.
As part of my Worcester award, I volunteered at St John's Library. During my time volunteering at St John's Library, I helped to re-label the stock to make it more visible/accessible to the public. I also helped with shelving items and ensuring the library was kept tidy and presentable. I helped to design the new logo for the St Johns Library coffee shop and contributed ideas e.g. what biscuits/cakes they should have, opening times and the prices, etc.
Also, in St Johns Library, as a community, we care and take pride in everyone in Worcester, so we thought of doing a project to promote the public coming to the library and get people communicating with others. The project we came up with, was about Worcester before and after, which includes shops then and now. This should help everyone talk to one another. My duties were to make the PowerPoint by finding old pictures of Worcester and including them in the slides etc. I put all my effort into the Worcester award and contributed as much as I possibly could.
During the activity, I met Judges, Barristers, and Solicitors. We were talking about life in law firms, their daily duties, what cases they found quite interesting to work with, and what inspired them to do the job they were doing. I was proud to meet Judge Jim Tindel, Judge Khan, Judge Toby Hooper Judge Robert Juckes, and many more! All of these people gave me good advice for me to obtain my career and all of them inspired me. This is an achievement for me because I never had the opportunity to speak to a Judge, Solicitor, or Barrister, and these are the kind of people, I would like to follow after I have achieved my Law degree.
Another achievement I achieved was that I took part in the Worcester University Student Union general election, where I had my video taken and I had to say on camera who and why I was voting for. I was voting because I want the government to provide funding for the NHS.
