Makayla opened up to the instructors about herself & her family. She showed confidence in using skill saws, drills etc. once shown how. Makayla used humour when telling her stories, laughed a lot & made everyone else laugh too. She expressed liking the instructors & said she was going to miss them & doing the course/training.

When I spoke to Makayla about moving she said her Mom wants her to. She expressed concern about having to go through all her things & I said that she probably wouldn’t have to move everything at once.
