My reasons for joining the Prince’s Trust Programme were to continue my education and gain some more qualifications. I thought it was also an easy way to meet new people.

 

When I first started the course I was unsure how the course would benefit me and wasn’t sure about whether I would stay till the end and was nervous about meeting new people.

 

For me the hardest part of the course was the confidence side of things, meeting new people and getting to know them enough to be comfortable going away with them after only knowing them for a few days.

 

When I first started the course I wouldn’t talk to anyone and kept myself to myself. But throughout the course my confidence and communication skills have come a long way and during the 12 weeks I have met and worked with some amazing people and have made some great memories with them and our lovely team leader, Mummy Niki and have taken some weird pictures with Char, who has made this course hilarious.

 

I have enjoyed so much about the course; I even fed a duck with my hand.  I loved meeting everyone on Team 169, especially Char! I’m glad I got to share this experience with them and Niki and being able to try new things with them.

 

After doing this course I will be continuing my part time job at Highfield Garden Centre and hopefully get a full time job or start volunteering.
