What influence has Lancing College had on your life?
Lancing has had a huge influence on my life. When you arrive at Lancing College in the Third Form you are a child and you leave as an adult; Lancing is part of some of the most pivotal parts of your life. It truly moulded me into the person I am today, giving me the best possible start in life and motivation for the future.
Which hobbies or interests did you pick up during your time at Lancing?
I was always very keen on all sport, particularly cricket and rugby; whilst at the College I enjoyed playing for these teams regularly. I knew when I began studying for my A Levels that I wanted to work in the business world with the long term goal to become an entrepreneur and have my own business. The subjects I studied at A Level are all areas where I have maintained an interest.
Are you still in touch with people you met at Lancing?
Yes, many of my closest friends are those I met whilst at Lancing. I still keep in touch with a lot of people. I was in School House and in my opinion it is the best House! (I may be a little biased)
