BEST THING I EVER DID: Craig Talbot, 17, Knowsley

1 min read

Before joining the programme, I was always out with my mates, getting in to trouble.

When I met my mentor, I learned to put my trust in her. She made me realise I was capable of much more and supported me in wanting to go to college.

This improved my self-confidence and I am now studying a computer course and have been shortlised for student of the year.

I'm trying to pass that message on to some of my old friends by showing them how easy it is to turn their lives around too, just by showing respect for others.
