My motivation to become a social carer stems from my interest the current degree I am studying. I have just started my third year in exercise physiology where my purpose is to improve quality of peoples lives through exercise but also through social support and just improving their day. The ‘therapist’ type role is massive in being a good EP, being able to listen and just get them through another day is so special. I also grew up in a small town and now living near the city have grown a broader perspective of life and peoples situations. I have experienced a lot of types of people through previous jobs and areas I have lived in and family through my brother with ASD who utilised a support worker. I have a passion for all kinds of people, younger clients who are fun and so positive and older clients with their wisdom and love for a chat. I would also say I am very in tune with reading people and their needs. I am very able to switch between different parts of my personality to deliver a vibe and mood which would be suited to people with their specific needs on that day. My personal passions and hobbies surround a lot of sport, specifically athletics (racewalking). It makes me feel alive and although it is brutal, I can explore my values and grow through all the skills and lessons I teach myself. I also love cooking, going to nice views like the beach, and I enjoy learning about anything and everything. Any type of sport also sparks my interest. No thankyou!
