Reflection
At the beginning of course is infant school then primary school onto secondary school by going to school I have achieved many things but this would not have been possible without the help and patience of many people.

I have learnt many skills over time but there is still much to learn as I feel you can never have too much knowledge, I joined martial arts with my elder sister as a hobby and also to bond with her. In starting this it helped me work as a team and be self disciplined. Football also began as a hobby but I became committed and it showed me how to be competitive and push myself to achieve my goals and ambitions.

Upon starting college I felt like and adult, I got given more responsibility and independence which I liked but it was also challenging, I started my first proper job at college although part time I felt like I was doing my bit to help mum.

I have put time looking after mum on my learning line as I feel this has influenced my life in a massive way, I wasn’t only feeling like an adult but being treated like one as well, this is because I was given adult responsibilities (looking after siblings and mum as well as running a household) this is when I got a full time job to be able to provide as well as try to interact with people and lead as normal life I could outside of home.

My mum had her heart operation and recovered really well allowing me to be where I am today and start university.
