I would say that I am a peaceful person. I love spending time outside and keeping fit. I used to spend hours outside on my own or with friends doing CrossFit. I like to be active because it keeps me motivated and and helps me focus my mind.
I moved to London from Poland in 2016 and was working as a chef. In 2019 I lost my job and was unable to find work . Eventually, I ran out of money and was unable to pay my rent, so I had to leave and ended up sleeping on the streets. I was rough sleeping and then staying in various night shelters. Since the pandemic started, I have been staying in emergency accommodation provided to me by Newham council.
I want to work in construction to get back on my feet and be able to support myself. In the past I have worked as a labourer and as a painter decorator, and I always found this kind of work fulfilling. I think it is a good time for me to make a change and focus on something new. Getting my security licence will open up more options in construction and other industries too.
In the future my dream is to open my own gastro pub or restaurant. In Poland my mother ran her own kitchen for 20 years and I want to follow in her footsteps. I have a passion for cooking Italian food and If I owned my own place thats what I would want to serve. I have been thinking about this a lot recently and hope to turn my dream in to a reality.
