The past decade has been an uphill battle, however, I feel I'm now on level ground and looking ahead to the future with hope. I've dealt with everything including the loss of loved ones, homelessness and addiction. I worked extremely hard to battle my addiction and get myself clean. I'm extremely proud of my progress and will continue to work hard in this area of my life.
I've not been in a stable home for almost a decade. During this period I've stayed where I could. It's been a mix of sofa-surfing and more recently temporary accommodation thanks to the support of the council.
I want to lead a productive life and I feel becoming a driver will steer me towards that goal. I've always enjoyed driving and I think taking this on as a profession is an exciting opportunity. I will be learning how to operate LGV vehicles. With this, I feel I will get on the road to success and start rebuilding my life.
I'm a very social and friendly person. I enjoy interacting with others. This has made the previous 18 months a real struggle as everyone has had to isolate during the pandemic. A perfect day for me is being somewhere outdoors, the beach, woods, hills, you name it! However, not much of that has been possible recently. I'm looking forward to planning some nice trips once I get myself settled in a new home.
Personally, my dream is to reconnect with my children and to be in a proud and prosperous position. For the world, my dream is for world peace and for those less fortunate to get the support they need to achieve happiness.
