I plan to take a gap year when I leave college. I will continue work in my current job as a freelance groom and possibly get another part time job to help save money for travelling in Japan. I can build a portfolio by photographing horses and wildlife which could also help me gather some money. I'd like to spend a few months in Japan travelling around the rural and urban areas while continuing to build my portfolio. After this I'm thinking of applying to Cumbria University to study Wildlife Media (a link for this course is below).
Short term
At the moment in focusing on completing my subjects in Long Road and leave with 3 A levels (or equivalent). After this I will continue to work more through summer and save money to go travelling with. I will also research and plan a trip to Japan.
Medium term
If possible, I'd like to go to Japan early 2018 and travel around various urban and rural areas looking at different cultures through the country. During this time I will build a portfolio by photographing where I go and potentially put together a short film. I will also have applied to Cumbria uni.
I think by travelling and being self employed, my general organisation will improve as I's need to keep on top of my work and getting things done on time. While doing my photography, I can do some filming of wildlife as well and make some short films which will greatly improve my skills with Premiers and other Adobe software.
Long term
Assuming i get accepted to university, I will study a Wildlife Media course for 3 years. During this I will probably get some work as a freelance photographer to improve my skills, experience, and portfolio.

Contingency planIf I don't get a place on the course or if I decide not to go for it, I will most likely continue to work in small freelance jobs (hopefully by then I will have more experience with things I not so good at now) and begin looking into working for a company in a more long term job.
