Molly C.

After finishing up in primary school, Gaelscoil Phort Lairge, I went into the Mercy for three years. Getting into 4th year/TY didn't bother me, but due to normal 5th year being too hard for me if I went ahead with it so I moved to the Ursuline to complete a two year different Leaving Certificate, which was Leaving Certificate Applied. I then went onto a PLC college course in Waterford College of Further Education to study Multimedia which was only one year. I completed the course a year later and went onto Waterford Institute of Technology to study Multimedia Application. I found this course too hard for me, unfortunately, I dropped out due to failing my exams. At this point I didn't know what to do with my life until I heard from my mum that the secondary school St Pauls was doing PLC courses, I applied for IT straight away and went onto doing it for the whole year. After volunteering at the charity shop Enable Ireland for a whole year, it came to a point where I wanted to do something new, I had a job coach who had been helping me to get a job suitable for me and convinced me to go back to college, which I agreed to. I went onto to study Canine Grooming in Waterford College of Further Education and this was a course where I cared more about my assignment work and put more effort than the previous courses. I love children, watching them grow up, how they can learn from you and from creative things such as colouring, reading, jigsaws, etc. I have been babysitting since 2014, babysat for two families until they were old enough to look after themselves. I would sometimes babysit my youngest cousin on my dad's side and whenever my youngest cousins on my mum's side came down from Dublin for a holiday, I would take them to the beach or park in my car. My hobbies consist of writing made up stories from my pure imagination and poetry based on my own life and what I've been through growing up. I like to drink tea and mochas, walking around new places and familiar places keep me active.
