George Phillip North

I have been asked to look at a topic that I am not particularly interested in which is rugby, and find a unique angle which makes it interesting to me.

George North is a young, talented Welsh rugby player. At the age of 21, he is already an inspiration to young children and adults. North took part in the winning of the Six Nations in 2013 as Winger, where Wales beat England 30-3. He also became part of the British and Irish Lions squad in 2013 in which they were victorious over Australia for the first time since 1997. North currently plays for the Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership, but in April 2013 it was confirmed that he will be moving to the Scarlets on a three-year contract from Welsh Pro 12.

Introduction!

Hello Reader!

I am currently sat by a desk in university, which may I add was a little scary to begin with, but my journey here is something that I should be proud of today and in the future.

In year 9 when you’re asked to decide on topics for your GCSE’s I would never have suggested that I would one day become a university student, but look at me now? Sat here, writing about my journey of how I got where I am today.

I’m extremely proud of my GCSE results and carried on into sixth form to do A Levels in History, Geography, English Language and Literature and the Welsh Baccalaureate. I choose these topics because they are all part of the primary school curriculum in which I hope to pursue a career in after university.

After yet another successful set of results I was accepted into my first choice university which was Swansea Metropolitan University, now known as University of Wales Trinity Saint David, to study Educational Studies.

I am extremely excited but also nervous to meet new people, face bigger obstacles and study harder than ever before!

Most importantly, I am looking forward to see what the future holds!
