Identify and explain 5 things that inspire you.
  1. Interior Design: I have always been inspired by interior design, I have always liked the thought of  modern, spacious, simplistic rooms. I have watched many shows about the subject and I always liked designing rooms on computer games. I always preferred that aspect rather than the actual game.
  2. Success: I have always been afraid of failing and I feel I am motivated by this fact. I have always aspired to a life I want, I don't want to have to compromise and this is in all aspects.
  3. Family: Me and my family are very close and I grew up with my family around me all the time. My mum and dad are extremely supportive and they have always done everything they can for me. My childhood as I remember was with my sister and my two cousins, we would do everything together and go out to places around Leeds all the time such as Harewood House e.c.t and this has educated me in all different ways.
  4. Meaningful Thoughts/Deeper Discussions: I would say I am very inquisitive, and I always have been. I have always asked why and questioned peoples thoughts and feelings, their psychology and my own. I feel that morals and beliefs are who we are and I like to uncover this.
  5. Drawing: Another thing I have always done is drawn, I used to spend hours drawing and I felt like I would get lost in my work and I'd become totally focused on what i was doing and nothing else mattered.
