It has been many years since I was last unemployed. I've worked for so long as a bus and private coach driver. I took a lot of pride in my job and I really enjoyed what I did. At the outbreak of the pandemic, there were naturally not many tourists and thus I lost my job. It was a really difficult time, particularly since I have a family.
I'm really grateful to be getting some help from Beam and the Beam community of supporters to get back to work. I'm not someone who likes to sit around and do nothing. I'm looking forward to leading and creating a better life for myself and my family, and getting back to work is an essential part of that. I'm always looking for new ways to add skills, which is why I'm looking to take a chauffeur course. I want to be able to do lots of different types of jobs and have as many skills as possible. This way, I hope to be sure that I'll be able to have whatever type of driving job in the future, no matter what the future may bring!
Since I arrived in this country, I've worked hard to contribute positively to my new home. It's nice to know that when I need a bit of help, the community is there to support me as well. I'm really grateful for all the support and am very excited of getting back to work as soon as possible!
