This past year has been crazy. I keep thinking about my previous life and everything that happened, but I need to look ahead. I used to work in hotels and I had a really difficult time. My colleagues weren’t supportive and there was no sense of teamwork. I felt demotivated and undervalued. And my housing situation has been hard too. Last month I couldn’t pay my full rent, and I’m worried about being served an eviction notice.
I’m looking ahead now though! I’d like to work as a nursery assistant because I love teaching. I love seeing kids learn, gain knowledge and just flourish. This year has been my wake up call. I want to find a job where I'm valued and surrounded by good people - a role where I’m making a difference.
My long-term ambition is to have my own business! I’d love to create a cafe with a twist - a space where customers can enjoy their coffees, and leave having learnt something new. Like a skills-sharing type cafe!
