Since starting the SEE Program at TAFE last year, I have enrolled in a Certificate 111 in Community Services, studying for qualifications for long term employment in the welfare industry.
After completing the SEE Program last year my teacher nominated me for TAFE Westerns Pre-Vocational Student of the year, due to car troubles I didn't make it to my awards ceremony so my teacher, Elizabeth, organised a Morning Tea just for me where the hospitality students made amazing food and beverages and I met a lot of people throughout TAFE Western.
I think the scariest part of this for me was delivering a speech infront of Andrew Gee, Oranges member of Parliament.
Not only did I gain this award but the SEE Program also gave me a support network I didn't have before who is now one of my best friends.
After being disengaged from school and not seeing the point of participating in anything TAFE was a great opening for me to be able to cope with study in a positive and mature learning environment.
Without making the first step towards my future 12 months ago I wouldn't be where I am today, with hard work and motivation I finally look forward to my future.
