I've only been in the UK for one tough year. I grew up in Somalia but left when I was 13 to live in Sweden. It was such a difficult journey to make alone but thankfully my family could join me in Sweden a few years ago. Now they're settled and I still talk to them lots.
I moved to the UK because I was living in a small town in Sweden and I really found it tough to find work after finishing my education. I also love the language and many of my favourite films are in English.
Unfortunately, life in the UK was much harder than I expected and without support I ended up homeless. I'm now living in a temporary hostel but I can't afford things like food as I'm not eligible for Universal Credit. However, I can work so I'm determined to earn money myself and get settled in the UK. I'm open to any roles that come up, but I'd love to get started in Security.
I feel really well suited to security because of the things I've dealt with in my life so far. I feel really resilient. I've also already passed my training so just need to get the license!
In the future I'd love to go back to college and learn something new. But I'm also a massive football fan so being able to afford Chelsea tickets would be good too!
