I was shy and withdrawn and my life didn’t have a focus. I had been for loads of interviews before then and never heard anything back – I wasn’t feeling hopeful.
After attending a group interview and a one-to-one with Rachel and Diane, I received a phone call to tell me I had been successful in getting a place on the programme. It felt amazing.
I was a 100% attendee on the programme and by the end I was far more outgoing and couldn’t stop talking, thanks to all the support I received from the charity. I enjoyed all my placements, especially the Ramada Plaza Hotel. I got a job at the end of the programme, but the biggest change was that I started to draw again. I did a placement at Glyndwr University, who took me to their Art Department. Laura encouraged me to show them my drawings. After all these years of being told I can’t draw I found that people like what I do and people call it a talent!
The charity continued to support me when I finished the programme. I started my degree in September 2016 and I loved it: the work, the studying, and making new friends with similar passion for art. The programme has given me so many opportunities; doing things I would never have dreamed was possible.
We’ve done so many different things and I’ve learned lots of practical skills. I’m just a different person now.
