I was left behind because I didn't know what I was doing.

So my first business failed.

So gardening company didn't work.

In the end, it didn't go as the way I'd like it to go.

Well, I turned 16.

I had a national insurance number.

I was only homeless for eight weeks because this gardening company worked at the beginning and made money.

I got myself a place to stay.

I had an address.

Now I had a national insurance number.

I could get a job.

And that's what I did.

I got a job.

But it was too late for me to enter the working world in that way.

And the system, I'd woken up.

my brain would no longer accept the way the world as it was.

So I got a job in a hotel and in the first two weeks of being at that hotel, the phone would ring and the receptionist would pick it up and be like, hello, I'm sorry, we're full in the hotel today and put the phone down.
