My dream for the future is to become a nurse. I’m a people person and I love working with people in general, but I would really love to do a role where I’m supporting those experiencing mental health difficulties. I want to use my time to care for others, especially some of the most vulnerable people in society. Everyone is different and we’re all facing our own challenges. I think it’s important to give back to others. My short-term goal is to find work as a Support Worker and build up my experience until I’m qualified to work as a nurse.
I want to have a brighter future for my son and I. Once my job situation is more stable, I’d like to move into more stable accommodation. My council tax is really high and I’m finding it difficult to pay it off every month.
Being a single mother to a young child is difficult, but I’m a happy and content person in general and I always try to count my blessings. I love spending time with my son and listening to music with him - it’s the best feeling seeing him walk around the house shaking his head to music. He’s just turned one!
