I am a sixth form student, 17 years old, who is looking for volounteering opportunities nearby. I am an aspiring dental student and someone who wants to feel involved within the community and be apart of the youth who speaks with actions to improve lifestyles and communities around bristol. I am a dedicated Muslim and my religion is very important to me, and I hope for a good cause around where i live and to make others feel safe and suppported. I have witnessed positive and negative aspects of communities around Bristol, which i wish to improve.

I love outdoors and connecting with new people. I believe I have an outgoing personality and enjoy spending time with people and learning new things about others. Also, I love arts and crafts, I grew up with a passion for art and took it for one of my GCSEs, which I feel like really enhances my creativity and sensitivity towards others. I feel like I am very sympathetic, which helps me connect with people. I am also interested in science, which leads me to mention that I take Biology, Chemistry and Psychology as my A-levels - I enjoy them very much. 

Earlier this year, I have completed a volunteering project that my school has offered to me - the 'Big Read & Write'. This experience involved me engaging with young students from secondary schools to help them improve their writing skills. I enjoyed it all so much as I connected with the students and learnt how they interpreted their ideas in their own creative ways. I gained valuable skills from this experience such as, teamwork, leadership and communication. As I was able to confidently give the students tasks and engage and communicate with them.
