My goal is to eventually become a psychologist. That's what I want to do with my career. The last few years of my life have been focused on my children and now I am ready to do something for me. I am a smart person and I want to put my skills to good use in helping others and make my mum proud of me.
I moved out of my mum's house when I was 16 and was placed into a hostel. Since then I have moved into temporary accommodation provided by the council and have felt a bit stuck in the system since then. Getting a job will really help my financial situation as well as help me move closer to my goal of becoming a psychologist. In particular, I would love to work with young people who have come from the care system, but I would be happy looking after anyone.
I supported my grandma before she passed away and just found I was generally good at it. I am a caring and helpful person by nature and am very empathetic. I want to be able to support people who need the help and feel like it comes naturally to me. I feel like people are rooting for me to make something of my life, and I want to do the same for others. Sometimes it feels as though no one is there to support you so I want to be able to be there for people that need it.
