I've had quite a few financial difficulties throughout my life so far, and they’re still ongoing. I had dreams of becoming a doctor because I wanted to support vulnerable people and really make a difference to society. I was studying at uni but I’ve recently had to drop out because of my financial situation - I'm in a lot of debt at the moment and it keeps piling up. I want to find a stable job first so I can sort out the debt and earn money, and then I’d love to go back to university later on in life.
My living situation has also been quite difficult. I’m living with my parents at the moment and I’m sleeping on a mattress on the floor, so that’s been pretty tough. I’ve had to sofa surf sometimes at friends' places too.
Life’s been tough, but in the last few months I’ve gained a lot of motivation and drive for things to get better! I’m so determined to find work and get my life back on track. I’ve been going to the gym regularly, seeing my friends more often, and just thinking about what I want to do. In the short-term, I want to find work in hospitality because I enjoy interacting with new people and it’ll be a good place to get started. My long-term ambition is to one day join the police academy and be a part of law enforcement. I’ve always wanted to benefit society in some way, and I’d love to have a career where I’m giving back. I want to move forwards and achieve all my goals and ambitions. And your support honestly really does mean so much to me, so thank you.
