Hello again:]

Here comes a behindhanded update:
I'd obtained all necessary info and prepared some background for my UCAS application form I'm working on presently.

I have to write a Personal Statement in which I'll have the chance to explain my reasons for applying. You know how crucial a good PS is and so you'll probably understand why I've chosen to use your mental and lore resources ;p.

Anyway, my space is very limited (template available on www.ucas.com/getting/apply05/ along with some technical instructions) and I have so much to pass on;].

Although the form is up to me the brochure "How to apply" specifically points out what I would want to write about:

* Why do I want to study in the UK?
* What evidence do I have to show that I can complete a higher education course taught in English?
* Have I had a position of authority or used my communication skills in any activity?

* Why I have chosen the courses I've listed?
* What interests me about chosen subjects? ("Include details of what you have read about the subject")
* What career plans I have after I complete my course.
* Any job, work experience, placement or voluntary work I have done, particularly if it is relevant to my subject. ("You may want to give skills and experience you have gained from these activities")
* Any involvement in widening participation schemes such as summer schools or mentoring activities.
* Involvement in master classes or other Gifted and Talented programmes.
* My future plans.
* Any subjects I'm studying that do not have a formal assessment.
* Any sponsorship or placements I have applied for.
* My social, sports or leisure interests.

==============
I have pointed out some of my prior attainments:
1. After one semester in my elementary school I have been promoted to higher class and considered a gifted kid;].
2. I had the best overall average of lower high school grades (5, 4 /6) of my school.
3. In high school I was approached by a newly-created periodical "LOL". I still write articles for them on a regular basis and they consider offering me a post of their younger correspondent from London.
4. I am a creative script-editor for a movie "300 minutes" that currently is being developed by young independent artists connected to milieu of "Lodzka Szkola Filmowa" (the best and most renowned polish drama school)
5. I have been attending summer courses at British Council's school English for You in Hastings where I have obtained second best score;].
6. I was a successful head of the Students Government (in the most difficult term of office in my entire high school history)
7. Now I'm a chairman of the European Club...
8. ...from which I have been awarded a place on an international exchange program with young students from Carcasonne (France) but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to go because I've lost my passport (and it was before Polandâs accession to EU).
9. Alongside my professors and friends I have been a part of a team that obtained a "Szkola z Klasa" title for my school in a social effort to raise the standard of education in Poland. The campaign was held under patronage of "Gazeta Wyborcza" (the most respective polish daily); The Polish-American Freedom Foundation and under honorary patronage of the Polish President.
==============

The thing is - I don't know how to start, with what I should begin? Furthermore: the list I have compiled makes up roughly for the 2/3 of my avaliable space in the template.

I know that it isn't a designed topic for essay writing, however; you know my case quite well. I'm looking forwart to any words of advice;].

Bye,
