Finish my 4 year landscaping and construction apprenticeship!!! I completed the 3 year trade school component 12 months ago, but now as of tomorrow it’s ALL DONE! I’m very happy because I struggled a lot with it especially the theory work. I don’t think I have ever done something from start to finish and not given up. I never thought I could do this and I just about have it in the bag. The last four years on top of work has been so hard I didn’t think I was going to make it but I did and I’m so proud of MYSELF! For the first time in my life I am genuinely proud of myself like I did that?? Me? the kid who got told he’d never do anything in life and couldn’t read till he was 11, yeah thats me I’m now fully qualified in a trade. I’m so happy.

Thank you
I thought I was going to give up so many times I thought I was going to give up ever single week when I had to go to trade school once per week I’m so surprised I got through it

Hi @lifeisstupid, welcome to the forum. 

So awesome that you have achieved this, even more because you had such difficulties along the way. I find it so great to hear such positive stories on the forum, as well as be supported during tough times, and supporting others in theirs.
