I feel transition year will give me the opportunity to further develop my self awareness, decision making and coping skills. This will help me to establish some realistic educational, occupational and life ambitions.
I look forward to work experiences as part of the TY Programme that I would not normally have access to. I expect that through work experience, community involvement and social awareness I will become more mature and independent which will prepare me for adult life.
Being part of a TY Programme , I will be able to participate in different group activities which will improve inter-personal skills.
As well as work experiences I look forward to taking up new hobbies that I have interest in . TY will offer me an opportunity to learn something new and develop new skills.
The programme will present me with a different learning experience before starting into the leaving cert cycle. This will give me more time to think about leaving cert subjects and college choices.
I realise that what you get from transition year depends greatly on what you put in. I look forward to the challenge and I'm prepared to do my best by taking part in activities and having a positive attitude towards the programme.
