In the year 2018 I started my DofE and successfully got my bronze award. It helped me achieve lifestyle skills I never thought I needed to learn, DofE taught me independence, confidence and much more. Throughout the journey it brought the good side of me out, I had a very rough path with behaviour issues and how to socialise with other people but this course got me through all of it, it brought happiness but as the course went on week by week I learnt to control my anger.

I am ever so grateful for my family and friends convincing me to do my bronze Duke of Edinburgh because if they hadn’t I would not be where I am today I am also forever grateful to the duke of Edinburgh for giving me the opportunity and experience that his charity has given.
