I really want to start working and get on my feet and do something for my life. I want to have a purpose again. I lost everything during the pandemic. I lost my job as a waitress and then I was evicted and put out on the streets. When I moved to the UK from Italy I didn't think it would be like this.
Luckily I was helped by a charity and now I've been living in temporary accommodation for the past two years. I've always been a hard worker so I'm not used to having to rely on others. I don't really like opening up about my past, I just want to live an ordinary life and get back to normal again.
I like working in hospitality as I enjoy being around people and speaking with them. I hope that I can improve my English when I get back to work as well. I am also a survivor of domestic violence and I'm still recovering from this. It has made me feel really self-conscious about everything, I even lost my front teeth because of my situation. I want to start working so I can earn enough to get them fixed, and hopefully get my confidence back.
