A 'LittleLot' About Me

So I am Vicky, I was born in East London and raised in Essex with my little sister (19 months younger)
I finished school at 16 after completing my G.C.S.E's in 2004, That October i got my first full time job in the big bad city of London, I staid there until April 2007 when I travelled to Turkey for the summer season, working in various bars and restaurants and learning how the Turkish people live. It was amazing, it had more downs than ups due to it being a poorer country so things like toilet roll was a luxury.
 I returned home September 2007 and joined up with the West Essex NHS temp staff, I got in to the finance department helping with the end of year taxes in May 2008.

That September my sister was due to start University down in Bristol so to spend some quality time with her we headed to Ireland to see some family and shop, drink and have a good time. Whilst there an aunt asked me what my next move was - I wanted to go to college as most employers were now looking for certificates to get jobs. I didn't have one. She showed me an advert in their local paper for a community college offering night time courses to get the same level certificates as a full time student for half of the price. I love children & photography....They had both :) Special Needs was a whopping €110 for a 21 week course and Photography was €85 for a 11 week course....I had some decisions to make but forgot about it while I enjoyed the rest of our break. On our last evening our aunt offered me to move to Ireland and do these courses and start making something of myself, she had a spare room so I went home with my sissy with food for thought. I spoke with my parents and told them that I thought this would be a good move. So less then 1 week later I moved to Galway, Ireland on the 16th September 2008, The following day I enrolled for both courses and started the Special Needs course the night after that. The very same day I started working as Substitute Special Needs Assistant on a ring me at 8 in the morning - Are you available? How quick can you get in basis? LOL.
