Why did I choose Geography?
I choose to do Geography in A-level because I would like my career to be related to it in the future. I also decided to take geography because I thought that what we were going to be learning in the course sounded intriguing and I thought that I would thoroughly enjoy it.
What have I enjoyed studying and what am I looking forward to studying?
I am enjoying what we are learning about in lessons, I am especially enjoying what we are learning about currently regarding tectonic plates and how it causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to occur. What excites me to learn about in the course next is the work we will be doing about coastal landscapes and then next year, Somalian Pirates.
What skills have I developed or acquired through studying geography?
Geography has taught me numerous skills, for example, throughout my entire time studying geography it has enhanced my map drawing skills as well as my ability to draw graphs and analyse them. However, what geography has specifically taught me this year is how to identify key parts of information in a case study and make simple notes with all the information so that the information is easy to learn. This skill is transferable to other subjects as well.
How will this subject help with my university choices and future career options?
This subject will help with my university choices as it is what I would like to do when I go to university, therefore, I will need it to go there. I will need the degree to help me get a job as an environmental consultant. Also, doing geography A-level will also benefit the other career which I would like to do , which is an environmental lawyer.
Enjoy!
