I did e2e because I wanted to go straight into work, rather than college.
I wanted to be a carer because my brother is disabled and the work experience revived that.
I got confidence and communication skills, and I'm more outgoing now than I was.
I also learnt how to handle people with Alzheimer's disease; one time, I saw an old man in the street who was lost. I walked around with him for half an hour and eventually found a place he knew; the pub. The manager recognised him and I got him home.
