From David’s National Record of Achievement:
In my time at Brownlow College I have achieved a lot and have become an asset to the school with reference to Sport. I have become very confident because I am good at a lot of things and have become very popular as a result of this. I am Captain of my Sports House in school and I am the school Football Team Captain which means the rest of the pupils who are involved in football and athletics look up to me for support and inspiration.
Because I am good at art I was chosen for the position of Marketing Director in the school Business Studies Mini Company. Art has also had me entered into competitions outside school and I was awarded £50 for designing Lurgan United’s badge for their football strip.
In my first year I sang in the school Variety Concert and was quite good. In my last year of Brownlow I have found that even though I don’t know everyone in school, everybody knows me and people will speak to me who I don’t even know. I am in that category of people who are the life of the school, who are always joking, cheering people up and just having a good time. I get on with all the pupils, teachers and caretakers and am very rarely in trouble.
I am interested in lots of things, music, sport, art, television, hanging out with mates, going out with girls, going to discos and even school.
I am very keen on continuing on at school, completing my GCSE’s and going on to do further education and University.
I am confident I can make my way into the Smirnoff Irish League with a football team because at the moment I am doing well with the team I am playing for now.
Outside school I have been involved in a few activities.
I have played for a few football teams including Lurgan Town Under 13’s, Portadown Boys Under 14’s, Sunnyside Under 16’s and at the moment I am playing for Lurgan Institute Colts Under 16’s.
I have been involved with a Cross-Community group witih Drumgor Youth Club co-operating with Tagnaven.
In school I have achieved a lot over the years. In Primary school I was the Overall sports day winner every year. I was the only P5 pupil to play for the football team and when I got to P7 I was named Captain.
In Brownlow College I won the medal for Overall Sports Person in my year and a Shield for Overall winner in the school. I won it the following year as well.
I entered the Variety Concert with three other boys this year and sang.
