Last time I was in job, I left it for my ex partner. I was working as cabin crew and he wasn't happy about the fact that I had to travel. So, taking this step to get back into work feels like I'm making my old-self proud. Helping people and listening to other people's stories are two things that I really enjoy doing, so I'd really love to be in a customer-facing role.
The last year and a half has been really difficult. My relationship with my family has been up and down which has taken its toll on me, mentally. There's always been tension in my house. I was kicked out for being late home or using the wrong tone of voice. Last year, I had to declare myself homeless to the council, but I felt ignored by them, and I was sleeping outdoors or sofa surfing without a permanent place to stay.
Recently, things have been getting better. Although, my relationship with my family has been rocky, I just want to make them proud. I just need a chance to root myself so that I can make these dreams a reality. My ultimate goal is to work a job where I can really help people and put a smile on their face. I want people to know that your lowest lows now, will create the highest highs in the future.
I hope to put this period behind me and get my story out there so I can help others in similar situations. In the future I'd love to do my masters in Medical Anthropology so that I can continue to help others.
