| Tara, Navitas Auburn |
Life was extremely hard. I had to work as a mushroom and chilli picker in a very far away farm. It took me 2 hours to get to work in extremely cold conditions. I still remember the days where I would cry from being so tired and feeling sorry for myself. But there was nothing I could do. I needed the money.
After getting my permanent visa I was pleased to start my AMEP English classes at Navitas college in Auburn. There, I could not only improve my English but also develop my job seeking skills and most importantly my self -confidence.
I was determined to work hard and never give up. I started at Level 2 and within 3 months I progressed to Level 3. I also completed Certificate III in Aged Care, hoping it would help me find work but this wasn't easy.
Thanks to my classroom teachers and my DL teacher, Claudette. She designs the DL lessons to suit my needs. She helped me apply for jobs online and prepared me well for job interviews by practising during the lessons. I have recently got a job as a Carer in a retirement village. I am very proud of how far I've come and feel that through all my struggles I have become an independent woman.
Congratulations Tara on your success. What a wonderful story of determination and hard work!
