I really enjoyed doing DofE, it helped me make new friends especially on my expeditions for Bronze and Silver, as we had lots of fun together, even though the expeditions were tiring! I helped develop my cooking and knitting skills as well as my sporting ones - I managed to build up my stamina and swim 40 lengths nonstop for Bronze, and completed several Parkruns for Silver, being able to eventually run a whole Parkrun without a break. For Bronze and Silver and also for Gold, I have done volunteering at my local library, giving me lots of handy work experience and getting to know the library staff over the 21 months I will have eventually volunteered there for. Overall I have really enjoyed doing DofE and am so glad it was founded by Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh!!! Now I'm about to put my DofE achievements on my personal statement to help me apply to university, and I'm sure employers will love it!!! Thank you Prince Philip and DofE for everything ?
