 My son was one when I finally got sober and I used to think he should have been enough for me to want to get clean and sober, but really I just remember having a moment in rehab where I thought I just don't want to die, you know. I'm Peter of Edesof, I'm studying a Bachelor of cancelling, majoring in psychology at Griffith University. I'm 34, I have a seven-year-old boy, work casually as a mental health support worker and study full-time at Griffith. Education in itself has just been transformative for me. I feel like I'm a different person, you know, and I know without education I wouldn't be where I am today. I left school in year nine, I didn't finish year 10, so uni was never in my plan. My first house out of hospital was a supported accommodation and a support worker there suggested on maybe one day you'll be a support worker, you could do this work and I guess it maybe sparked an idea and you know I went to TAFE not long afterwards to start community services. I enjoyed that and thought I challenged myself even more and do a diploma in counselling and found out about a direct entry into Griffith Uni after I'd finished that, so I thought I'd challenge myself again and enroll in uni. In my second year I received the Abedian Griffith Future Scholarship. I met with Sahil for the first time at the end of last year. There was a moment where we were all sitting at the table. Sahil was giving a really sort of inspiring speech and he said all of you at the table are going to be agents of change, you know, and I just got shivers down my spine and the atmosphere of the room just changed, you know, and I really believed what he said. It excited me, so I guess that's my next big thing after uni. I want to do something profound to help people. I hope to solidify that dream this year, you know, with the help of Griffith Honours College. I think it's, you know, a really great experience for my son to watch me at uni and committed to something, you know, I think I'm modelling some really good behaviour for him. For me, being a remarkable is an existing outside my comfort zone for any amount of time. I consider that to be where a lot of my growth has come from, from being uncomfortable and challenging myself with things I didn't think were possible.
