Last week I joined a group called beheard beheard help people with learning disabilities have a say in their local community.I had my first meeting last Monday we were talking over lots of topics that we felt were important to us as a group
I am trying to make an big impact at the meeting I felt I did well. It was good getting feedback on local concerns that affects the local disabled community.
I think beheard is a great idea because people who don't normally have a voice do get a chance to have a say in what happens with them after all they live in the community why shouldn't they have a say in whats happens to them and what services they like and what kind be made better thats why I joined because I was not happy about things and I was finding it hard to draw attention to a whole host of concerns I felt needed to be known but I had no outlet to express it so be heard is great .
I am very confident that beheard will continue to grow and proper because behared in my own statement is a valuable service that helps and support all of the learning disabled community.
Just wanted to thank David and leda for making me feel very welcome thanks Guys.

On Thursday 11 December i went back to a college i went to for 3 years. The college had a fair which they do every December and i got invited to go so me and a friend called David went along.
When we go into Windsor town centre we had to walk to the college. We both was looking forward to seeing our old friends again
Myself and David both went into the main door and we saw many of our old friends they were so pleased to see us and they all wanted to know what had we been up too since we had left.
I explained to them that i had moved into a new flat and was doing well.
I went around the campus for a walk around and i saw some of my other old friends in the garden area we all sat down and started to recount a story where we staring singing that brought back good times i could not help it but start to laugh.
The walk round made me think of all the good times like the football matches we played the song we sang and the friends ive made.
All of my friends gave their contact information so we could keep in touch You see when you go to a college for 3 years the students are like family you get to know their family and they get to know yours and you share good times and the bad times through it all as a class and a team.
When it was time to leave i had a tear in my eye because I did not want to leave I went round and gave all my friends a hug.
I went back home and thought wow if i could only relive my 3years over again.

On Friday 28 November I made a decision to leave my college course for personal Reasons.I just wanted to thank my media tutor for helping me bring my creative side out of me while I was on the course and that I will use what skills I have learnt in a positive way .
May I take this opportunity to wish everybody else who was on the course with me good luck with the rest of the year and a successful future.
Now I have left college I am taking a year out and see what the New Year brings and take it from there
I want to thank My care manager Gerry for all his countless hours trying to get me to do my best even though it did not work (thanks mate )
Now its lots of free time and doing what I enjoy most watching Jeremy Kyle on daytime Tv!.

This September I started a new college.I was really worried about making new friends but I already have,
I got my new time at the start of the term and had a look at what lessons I had for the
Year and they looked very enjoyable.
I had “media” which was fun then I watched Edward Scissor Hands which was also very enjoyable. It was a strange piece to write a Film Review about, but I managed four pages or so, which is a personal best for me! I have never written that much in a lesson before now
I owe my media tutor one big thank you, because he gave me some advice that got the creative side out of my piece of work. Now I can write loads and feel very confident about my media work.
I am doing ok with settling into college life, hopefully I will then go onto my dream course which is Health and Social Care.
I want to train to be a youth worker and help people with learning disabilities to have a fun filled life, which they can be proud of .

Over the summer I moved into a 1 bedroom flat.
I had been waiting for over a year and a half.
It was fantastic when I signed the documents I thought another next step up the housing ladder for me. I had to pay again for the carpet which was a lot when the bedsit flat that’s is because there is more room in a 1 bedroom then a bedsit .
When I moved in it was a weekend so I had to get a meter reading because now I am paying for gas I was not doing that before and getting a new phone line it was quite difficult for me because I had to give over loads information so I could get a payment plan up an running which was hard as well.
When I got everything up and ready it was great news everyone who saw my smile it was the happiest day in my life
It’s a bit more responsibility because there are few more bills like gas water electric and sometimes its scares me because when I have a few minutes to myself I thought I am responsible for all of the stuff in my new home
4 months on I am doing really well and some of my friends who have came back have said how nice it is.
I owe a lot of people a load of thanks because they have helped me settle in and get a handle on things.
Onwards and upwards for me.
