Activities and achievements

 



School Activities and Achievements


Having decided to do my final year of schooling in South Africa in order to experience a new culture, my high school year afforded me to discover and partake in social, intellectual and to develop my personal interests. While studying I started an Internet mail-order computer shop and discovered my entrepreneurial skills as well as my passion for business that leaded into my field on studying.


School Activities and Achievements

At University I reduced my involvement in extramural activities to have more time to devote myself to my academic studies and to participate more fully in the new business venture I established. During the second semester of my first year, I developed a new enterprise that consisted of a student community website remunerated through advertising. This contributed to the development of my planning, organisational, problem solving and leadership skills. It also helped me to put into practice the theory I was studying.

StudentZone, the Internet portal, was later sold to a large law firm; whom I believe purchased it for investment purpose.

 

 

INTERESTS

 

 

I have a wide range of interests ranging from current affairs, to IT.
I particularly enjoy keeping up to date with anything, which is related to the Internet and e-business.
I also enjoy reading non-fiction, watching art movies and doing activities related to the sea.
