I was born in Afghanistan. I did not have an easy childhood growing up. I never felt secure or safe. My family and I were always having to flee underground for safety. However, I stayed strong and made a life for myself.
Unfortunately, due to the troubles at home, my family and I had to escape to the UK for safety. I was originally separated from my wife but we've been reunited. It was hard to focus until I knew she was safe. Since arriving we've been living in a hotel. I'm grateful for the support but it's tough not having stability. We're being told there is a secure homecoming but we've been waiting for a long time.
I want to take control of my own destiny and start a career. Now my family are back together and safe I want to start building a future. Get our own house and then settle down to have some children. I've always enjoyed driving and already have to UK license, so I think a career as an LGV would open a lot of roads for me. I'm looking to work asap so I will work in either warehouse care whilst I complete my training.
