Things have been really difficult since the pandemic hit. Covid restrictions have meant that I haven't been able to earn what I used to as a mechanic, and my rent is really expensive so things have been stressful as I was worried I might lose my home. Not only for me, but for my partner and my little boy who is 2 years old. The responsibility to bring money in is on me and I don't want to let them down. I also lost my mum recently which was really difficult for me, and then on top of that the pandemic hit.
I really want to train to be a lorry driver so that I can have a more stable career that will mean I can pay my rent and support my family. I have lots of experience with heavy machinery and mechanics so I am really looking forward to getting my qualification as an HGV driver, I think I will be good at it!
