It’s been really hard because of my age. I got kicked out of my adoptive parents and had to return to my birth parents who didn’t know how to take care of children. Whilst living there I suffered abuse and I decided to leave their house which made me homeless.
Right now I've found a bit of stability where I'm staying and I'm ready to get back into work so I can start to move forward in life. I know getting a job will make it easier to find my own place and I know getting into work quickly would really help. I haven't been able to work, even though I want to, because my temporary housing costs are so high.
Longer term, I'd want to get back into accounting or finance. I love accounting because it's what a lot of my friends do and we've all learned and grown together by doing it. Outside of accounting I'm really into football and hope to be getting back into things more seriously at the end of the season. It's something I've always done from a very young age.
In two years I'd love to be a fully qualified accountant and be playing football at the highest level possible. I'd also hope to have my own place.
