FROM an AWARD PARTICIPANT’S PERSPECTIVE

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award has really contributed and affected me a lot not only throughout my high school education, but also throughout my whole life. It has helped me to see that the number of people who were willing to do things, which were easy to do or was considered as not being important but actually was important for the society , were declining.

The Programme has turned me into a more beneficial individual for the society and I started to see the demands and needs of the society easily. There is a huge gap between my opinions before and after the Programme.

At the beginning, I did not perceive the Programme as being crucial. However, I have dedicated myself to the Programme within time. I’ve understood the importance of the programme, I have physically improved myself and became a more useful person to the society.

Although I was tall enough to play basketball, I really didn’t enjoy playing it; but with the programme I’ve started playing and enjoyed basketball. Although I didn’t see myself talented about handcrafts, I have improved myself in sculpture.

Thanks a lot.
