No I’ve never been to an experience like OB, I thought it was extremely adventurous and it boosted my confidence a lot with meeting new people and introducing myself to them. We had a lot of fun with the activities we took part in – the instructors were really friendly. I would really recommend the course to anyone of my age, definitely one of the best experiences.
I made a lot of friends there that I have kept in touch with. I learned organizational skills that have translated into my dealing with young rowdy teenagers and for the future I have the Certificate of attendance that will stand me in good stead in the workplace with the new skills I have acquired.
New ideas as to how to interact with teenagers. With the OB Certificate it gives me credibility to continue with youth work and eventually to specialize in the area of children and young people with special needs.
To continue with specialized youth work and also to go into a business such as flooring where I can continue to help in the community and work with more confidence with customers.
In my opinion the most important area with young people nowadays is their mental health. I met people on the course struggling with mental health and confidence issues and other disabilities; this is where the course with all the physical activities with confidence and learning benefits created supportive groups for the benefit of everyone there and made everyone feel inclusive regardless of physical or mental issues.
