I'm Robert, a self-motivated third year psychology and social work student, hoping to attain the skills needed to help those in need. Whilst currently studying, I like to find opportunities to expand my understanding of the world and to contribute as much as I could.
Recently, I completed the Hope For Children Project in Vietnam which involved teaching disadvantaged children the English language. I am also currently volunteering at the Upgrade Homework Club, a supported learning program in association with the Les Twentyman Foundation. These two experiences have developed my following skills:

• Thinking flexibly and creatively to overcome language barriers
• Time management and organisation
• Teamwork in a professional setting
• Communication with different age groups

I am also currently working at McDonald's , which has developed:

• my work ethic
• problem solving ability in relation to customer complaints
• ability to work in a fast-paced environment

My one drive and passion in life is to help those in need. Whilst a seemingly idealistic drive, it has motivated me to step outside my comfort zone and to realize my own shortcomings so that I may improve on them.
