I am doing Transiton Year because I would like to be older when I do my Leaving Cert, I am also looking foreword to doing projects, rather than tests all the time.

My favourite subject in school is maths, business studies, irish, woodwork and art. I like maths because I am good at it. I like business studies because it interests me and I want to go on and work in the stock markets. I like Irish because I like being able to speak different languages. I like woodwork and art because I have not done them before now and they are interesting.

The sports I most enjoy are football and tennis. I play tennis in Celbridge and Distict Lawns Tennis Club. I have been a member for 3 months and I get coaching from Jamie Stafford. I like to play football with my friends but I do not play for a team. I am a strong follower of Man Utd and St. Pats. Come on you SUPERSAINTS!

I listen to all kinds of music except rock music. I like Coldplay and R'n'B. I also like Travis. When I go to clubs or discos I like dance music because it is fast and fun. I do not like rock music at all.

For my work experience in November I was working in the finacial department of Celtic Hampers. I was working here because I wanted to work with finance and figures. For Feburary, I have not got a place yet so anybody out there who knows anyone in the stockbroker business, please e-mail me on michaelbergin@hotmail.com.
For my second work experience I worked in an accountants office for my first week. This was good experience as I experienced working in a small business.
For my second week I worked in the EBS Training Department and experienced the contrast of working with a big company.

For me the highlight of Transition Year was Form + Fusion. This was an excellent project and many of my favourite times in Transition Year came in connection with Form & Fusion. The heats were amazing and although we didn't get through I am looking foreward to the finals in Cork.
