Why I returned to learning
By Colm Shortall
The reason I returned to learning was to improve my reading and writing
skills so I can help my nieces and nephews to do their homework. I would
also like to be able to read them a bedtime story.
I would like to improve my maths. I want to learn fractions and
multiplication because they are used in everyday life. I also want to
improve on short and long division.
I like doing the morning classes because it gets me out of the house
early. It also gives me the rest of the day to myself.
I like the break time because it gives us a nice rest from all the work. I
also like it as you can talk to other students and get to know them a lot
better.
I would like to get a qualification at the end of the course. I think by
getting a qualification it will help me get a job.
I am looking forward to the Certificate Night. The reason I am looking
forward to it is that I am getting a certificate for work that I did last
year in Personal Finance and Word Processing. I am also looking forward
to the night because of all the lovely cakes.
