It's been a tough year for me. I have faced a lot of challenges in my life, which have taken a toll on me. Ideally, I'd like a job in hospitality or as a waiter, as I dream of one day owning a bar. I would also like to get back into work as quickly as possible, so I think hospitality would be a great industry.
From the age of 21 years old I've faced homelessness. I've slept on my local church bench and had to sofa surf wherever I can. Initially, when I was supported with housing, it wasn't the right environment for me. Now, I've been supported into alternative accommodation and finding a job is the last piece of the puzzle.
It's hard to say where I see myself in a few years time. Ideally, I want to be in a job, even if it's low paid so that I can start off from somewhere. I haven't had any formal work experience before, so I'll be starting from scratch. Having stability is what's important to me as it will allow me to pay off and clear my debts. I'm extremely grateful for this support.
