I either want to be a video game programmer (as im not bad with python or c++) or work, or own, a recording studio as I would love to do something like that and im good at music:)
If anyone else has any good career prospects i would love to hear them
Im intelligent but as im dyslexic i find it hard to revise or do well in my GCSE’s but you can ask me any question and i could answer it, so i think im going to either be an entrepreneur or a job that i could get paid for by demonstrating my skills or doing a couse.
Im 15 by the way, afraid about what will happen when i leave school next year so any help please?
Thanks.

this is what i have so far of the novel i’m writing. yes, it’s long, but please take the time to read it! i have no idea where to take the story from here.

THE JOURNAL

Erica Murphy

Summary: Chelsea Burgins expected a normal commute to work that Thursday morning. The usual pushy, hurried businessmen and women rushing to be on time for those eight-o-clock meetings, taxis and buses speeding through the busy New York streets, traffic lights every block all added to her frustration of working in the city. Little did she know that what she would find aboard the bus would change her life forever.

Foreword: There was nothing set in stone, and Chelsea was completely sure of nothing. She felt as though she had known this man her whole life, but knew that in reality she had no idea who he was, where he was, or what he looked like. She had found a random red journal on the bus, and planned on turning it into the police station, but thought that it may be somewhat pointless. She knew they had more important things to worry about than a stupid journal. If it was a hundred thousand dollars that she turned in, they might care more, but all it was to them was a stupid journal that none of their precious time should be wasted on. And that’s the part that killed her. It wasn’t just some lame ratty old journal. This book held the words that she had breathed in for the past three weeks. This book changed her life, and made her see the world in a completely different light. Chelsea wanted to tell Taylor about the journal, but deep down she knew that her best friend, too, would consider it to be a dumb idea. She doesn’t even know the guy, for god’s sake! But for some reason, he meant the world to her. And now what could she do but sit there, read it, and hope that she could somehow find out who it was that wrote these beautiful words on the paper that she held in her hands at this moment. He whoever he is, was the best thing that had ever happened to her, and there was no way she could just let him fade from her life. He had shown her what a true, honest man was like. She wouldn’t have to search through a bunch of scum bags to find the perfect man anymore. Here he was, his words right there in her hands. She had no idea what she was doing or why she was doing it. The only thing she was certain of was, she was in love with him, and she needed to find him.

As an international Chinese student in the United States, I believe that I have a great deal of business, academic, social, and cultural experience that will allow me to fit in well and contribute to the international flavor of Lund University.
One of my most distinguishing characteristics is the diversity of experiences I possess. I am a business student with a flair for the arts. I am a woman with technical aptitude and an interest in entreprenership. I also have a passion for traveling and understanding different cultures of the world. All these elements have given me a very broad outlook, with varying degrees of knowledge in a range of topics. I strongly believe that although some are not related directly, all these qualities will influence my graduate work.
My Business degree has given a strong foundation to my analytical skills since business issues research involves a lot of complex and intricate relationships among parties who are aiming at different goals, and the application of basic math, communication and psychology skills. Over the past four years in college, I have been working part-time with my own business, Shining SIM Card, set up when I just became a college student. I was the president of student government and am also an active member with SSE – Siemens Solar Energy. I have assisted my father in his project to supervise and monitor the process in his company during my breaks. More than what I have studied in school and college, it has been these experiences that have shaped the person that I am today.
I believe that this unique blend of experiences has made me a woman with an original point of view. This blend has given me a broader perspective to and a good understanding of life and a goal to aim for. Among other things, I have this diversity of experience to offer Lund University. My most substantial accomplishment has been the success of Shining SIM Card that I managed in Dalian, China, where I have been working as a manager since 2005.
Entreprenership, as a field, had always fascinated me right from my middle school days, and being an entrepreneur to contribute its utilities to mankind is the life long dream and career objective I persue, it is worthy to devote energy and commitment to found my own business and lead it success. Shining SIM Card, my first big step on my enterprise career, compared with prior experience, grew up from only one employee to fifteen, the main consumers from one campus were enlarged to other 6 big universities and also some small schools of the local city when I graduated. Most of my customers were college students, as a student myself, it was easy for me to do surveies, to know the popular tastes, and the most impressing way to promote the business with very limited resources. The advertisement form developped from hand writing poster on wall to big colorful advertisement scroll and products propaganda for freshmen annually. The goal for advertisement is let 60% of the students consider my products first when they are about to purchase, and let them to introduce us to the rest 40%. Also I had an online sale shop for the convenience of customers, which has been in operation for 5 years.
Run my own business required me to believe in myself and in what I thought was good for the company. I had to take a pro-active approach, take the initiative and play a leadership role in motivating people and executing events to completion. A good manager is one who can figure out where problem lies and may happen, deal with it effectively by involving all the members of the company and improve the overall culture of the company. The problems I saw at Shining SIM Card had to be resolved to sustain the company. The fact that I was able to pull off this task alone has boosted my confidence in my abilities.
The business climate has never been more friendly toward entrepreneurship than it is today. However, enterprise and creativity alone are rarely sufficient to bring an entrepreneur’s ideas to fruition. Though, venturing off into Entrepreneurship is a challenge, one which I think some formal education can help solidify and provide a stronger foundation for success. So that leads me to my application for an entreprenership program at Lund University, and I wish to develop an idea based on research from Lund University, during the master year.
