"Well to be honest I joined the course because I heard it was a 12 week course. It also sounded like a good idea as I was not doing anything with my time or going to school.

I thought it would keep me off the streets and keep me out of trouble and to tell you the truth it has done just that.

The best thing that I got from the course was my two week work placement at Tottenham Hotspurs. I also feel that I have made loads of friends including the team leaders that have helped me with any problems I have had.

I have also learnt that I can work with people that I don’t know and built on my key skills. 

Also last but not least I have improved my tolerance.  I am so pleased with myself for actually staying on the course and not getting kicked off as previously I have never completed a course due to my behaviour.

Now I am attending another course at Keeping It Simple Training to get some more qualifications and build on my basic skills.  I also hope to continue with my dream to become a fire fighter and a footballer.  Andrea has also got me a place with the fire cadets which I should hopefully be starting soon.

So I would like to thank my team leader Andrea and Kate for having me on the course.  Thank you very much."
