TY PERSONAL STATEMENT
1. The reasons why i want to do TY
2. Overall aims for the year
3. My 5 objectives for the year
4. Why do I think I'm suited to TY
- I will get an extra year of educating before completing the leaving cert, which will allow me to mature, give me extra time and guidance in relation to deciding on what career path I wish to take. At this moment in time, I have no idea of what I want to go on to do after the leaving cert. The TY year would give me the opportunity to look at different subject choices, participate in work experience and guide me in making the right choices going forward into the leaving cert.
- TY will give me the chance to study/learn many new things. It will give me exposure to new experiences which in turn will equip me to take personal responsibility for my own development. The TY year would allow me to study practical subjects, participate in the school variety show all of which I feel would further develop me as a person.

By the end of transition ear i hope to get an idea of what subjects I want to study for my leaving cert and also give me an idea of what career path I want to take.

4. Why do I think I'm suited to TY
- There are many reasons why I think i'm suited to TY. I think that i will be able to work well with other students and teachers. As i am one of the younger students in my year, doing TY would suit me because when i leave school I will be at a more mature age. Doing transition year will also help me to realise any talents or skills I might have but not yet discovered. Finally, I think I am suited to doing TY because it will help me become more responsible for myself anf become more independent.
