Feedback from a participant on a STEPS course at HMP Cardiff  on 14/09/05

 

The statement is probably the most important one that I or you will ever read. It's taken me half of my adult life to realize it. I have always thought of myself as someone in charge of his own life and destiny, but I wasn't.  I just thought I was.  Because I had not clear goals or set plans for the future, I created my own life that didn't require much effort to maintain.  All I had been told at school that the future is what you make it but I just took life for granted.  If I got a job I got a job, if didn't I didn't.  Up to the present day I never really had a goal that I tried to visualize until  I met someone who was this trainer.  Taking part in the STEPS course has made me put into practice something I have always had the ability to do but never put into practice.  If I had just been given a folder full of questions and answers I still would have the same outlook on life, to carry on as norm, don't rock the boat in other words put a block on my imagination.  The trainer has set an example to us all that you can achieve your goal by being polite.  She puts things over in a way that you want to ask questions, and you want to learn, and you want to put this knowledge into practice.  It also makes you step back and look at your whole life and see how different it could have been.  But more it teaches you how different it can be.  This course will change your life because I want it to because every session has been made interesting thanks to the trainer.  Because of her fastidiousness and zeal and also her belief in what she teaches, I have a solid base on which to build my future.

Thank you to the trainer and Lou Tice.
