I know a lot of you might already be aware but I just wanted to say that this is it, the course starts tomorrow. I have mixed feelings about it. I am excited but also nervous. It is not a job, which feels a bit disappointing, but it is still a step in the right direction. The course is for people aged either 16 to 25 or 18 to 25, I am not exactly sure yet. It includes activities like cooking, climbing, trips, and possibly some CV work depending on what the group wants to do. It runs from Tuesday to Friday, 10am till 3pm, and I am honestly glad I will be out of the house and busy most days. It was suggested after I got rejected from some placements, and while it might sound small to some, it is meant to help build confidence, goes on my CV, and comes with a certificate from an organisation that helps people get into work. I will be taking the bus since it is too busy to drive and parking is difficult, but I think my tickets will be reimbursed and lunch might be provided too.

Even though I am hopeful, I cannot help feeling a bit doubtful because of how things have gone lately. I have had my hopes up before only to be disappointed, so it is hard not to be cautious. But I am really trying to stay positive, and I think this course might help improve my mindset and help me feel a bit more constructive again. I am especially grateful for this community and I honestly could not appreciate you all more. I will be thinking about the community while I am there, especially when my mind is racing or I am trying to stay focused. Someone is going to meet me at a certain place to help prevent me from getting lost like I did last time, and while I am a bit nervous about that, I can call if anything goes wrong. I should be okay though. I just want to say thank you. This community has been such an important part of my journey and I truly do not think I would have got this far without your support.

    Good luck tomorrow, I hope it goes well. But even if it doesn’t, it’s just your first day and it doesn’t mean every day will be the same. You’ve got this! <3
