I would like to share with you my journey so far. I studied for a Master Degree in Physics in Poland, then I lived in the Netherlands for 2 years, before I finally settled in Derby. I started a family here, I have three children who were born here, my oldest son is currently studying at the University of Birmingham studying Dentistry. While caring for my children, I worked in various temporary posi- tions. e.g. Care Assistant. until I found a job at St James Centre as a bilingual advisor in the Advice 4 All Service. It was a good opportunity for me to make a difference in my community and be able to use my own language skills. I ran a junior youth club for East European children for several years. During the 16 years at St James, I have worked hard to became a Senior Advisor. I know now that I have made a difference to the community because, as part of the Advice4AII team. we are the only service in Derby that provides bilingual staff in Eastern European languages. "My prime purpose in my life is to help others, so l always highlight growth, love and importance of attitude over circumstances."
