My inspiration story- in the beginning
So, from a young age I was given opportunities that I never knew would help me shape into the person I am now. Also inspiring me to be where I am now.
My grandparents had a working farm, where I spent a lot of my time. My mum was in college training in new skills for a better job. My dad was working so I got to spend a lot of time here with my grandparents. At a young age I helped my nanna with the household cleaning, lighting the coal fire and helped out with the animals. Feeding, cleaning them out, egg collecting and watching new life be born. As well as giving me a love of animals i got so much more.
I liked to help. My grandad also worked away so my nanna did most of the everyday things. One of the other jobs I used to do was Taking the dogs for a walk where I was able to experience the outdoors. Surrounded by the lovely scenery. Wasn’t all work. Made dens, went in other farmer's fields ( got told off because we wasn’t supposed to), climbed haystacks and got mucky.
I understood how much work had to be done each day and how tiring this was. I really enjoyed working and helping. It gave me the satisfaction that I had achieved something. I have continued to work hard to be where I am. I’m so grateful for these experiences and they have definitely given me a good work ethic and to want to help others.
