I started getting support when I was 15 years old, that was a long time ago. As I got older, I became more independent. Now, I look after myself and don’t need to go to Day Programs anymore. I’m a social butterfly and always busy, so if I need support, it’s only at nighttime and my support workers help me with this.

So yeah, I only need in-home support now, and only at night.

They helped me get skills to work in jobs. I now work during the day, and work is busy. I’ve worked at the bakery for nearly two years now and love it.

I’m so busy that I don’t play sports anymore, but I do bowling on Wednesdays, which is my favourite. I also love doing art. I’ve been doing it for years and entering Myriad since it began. Art keeps me relaxed, and I enjoy trying different types of art. I always put love into it.
