I want to become a Social Carer because I have always enjoyed working with and getting to know people. I've worked in retail for a while and although I love clothes, I have more enjoyed chatting with customers and seeing them come in and out of the store. This has led me to realise I really just want to work in a more close-setting with someone and chat and engage in activities with them, rather than a transactional experience. I think I will be a good Social Carer as I can get along with everyone and I always try to find a way to understand them and what they are saying to me. I enjoy being a confidante and the go-to with my peers and family, so I believe I will be able to easily work like that too. I have many interests and honestly - they are all over the place! I love going to the beach, even if it's just to sit with a beverage and watch the ocean. I also love the park and watching the animals and people walking along. When going out with friends or family I tend to gravitate to activities such as bowling, laser tag, the movies, or going out to eat. I'm relatively easy-going so as long as the company is good and happy then I'm happy! When at home, I enjoy (basic) knitting while watching some quality TV or movies. For TV I prefer docu-series or comedies or dramas (or a mix of all!). For movies I often pick the comedies or rom-coms, but you won't see me shying away from a scary movie if everyone in the room is in agreement. I love to paint, and though I'm no Michelangelo, I do believe it is so fun and calming, even if I'm just painting a solid colour on a canvas. I enjoy a drive around too and am not against driving to a new area for a good food spot or activity or museum to see. A big part of my personality is getting to know people and having a good yarn. Even if the other person would prefer to just go on a rant, I do love sitting there and listening as I believe that is the best way to understand someone - just listening.
