 The reason I chose to come and volunteer, I joined on my 16th birthday, I was very keen to join mainly because I just wanted to be able to do something in my community and give back to my community. At the time my dad was a volunteer and I just wanted to be able to get up and when the page went off and be able to turn out of him, that was sort of always a dream to be able to turn out with dad. Unfortunately that didn't go to plan, he had an accident a couple of months later but we still get to do CFA things together which is great. The opportunity CFA has given me, the biggest too would just be the opportunity to grow not only in my community but just in myself and the biggest thing they did for me was definitely last year was when I applied for the future leadership program under the CFA scholarship. I applied for that and CFA took a chance on me and said yeah we want you to do it so I did that and that was the best thing I've ever done because it has shaped me to be the person I am today which is a person I never thought I could be. My aspirations from here and in the future, I don't think it's ever going to change, it's being able to be there and protect and serve my community and be there to help people when they need it the most. In doing things out of your comfort zone, which for me I know it's something I wanted to do but because I was very shy and nervous about CFA, joining CFA was very like made me quite anxious because I was worried I was going to fail and all that but here I am today, five years on, confidence like this, hold all these qualifications out there of helping and protecting my community, it's absolutely incredible.
