“Ever since I was a little girl all I wanted to do was help people. I would dress my teddy bear up and pretend he was sick just to be able to look after him and make him feel better. Walking in through those College of FET Kilkenny doors each day seeing people that I didn’t know from the start, to now who are my life-long friends, it just feels amazing and don’t get me started on the amazing staff in the college! They have helped me through so much and supported me in ways I never thought anyone could. The Community Care course has equipped me with the knowledge to have empathy, respect and gratitude towards everything and everyone in my life. At the end of the day taking this course on has put the line between me as a little girl who wants to care for everyone to the caring Health Care Assistant I will become in my future!”
