 At the start I was nervous and scared to do it but it's just amazing to know that everything that I put into my training led me into the future that I am going into now. It's so good to get this far, come from a small community. Yeah I feel real proud. It gives you the oomph you need because it's recognizing what you're doing. Oh definitely give it a go. Even if you don't have that much confidence in yourself the Queensland Training Awards gives you that confidence. It's reaffirming, it's empowering, it just makes me smile on the inside and my students are really proud of me and that's really beautiful because it's all for them.
