Hi Everyone
My name is David and I recently achieved my goal of staying overnight in the Horizons training apartment for the first time
The Horizons team have helped me achieve this goal by building up my confidence and using my skills learned through my Horizons training courses. By using my new skills I was able to plan out my weekend 💫
- I made a shopping list, went to the supermarket and cooked my own meals during my stay
- I took a trip out to Dun Laoghaire on the Dart & went for a walk on the East Pier
- I also visited our local garden centre to get ideas for the balcony flower boxes
I had a great time and was very proud of myself for achieving this goal
Well done David! You are gaining confidence and learning all the time.
