I like most of the jobs at Endeavour, I find work interesting because there are lots of tasks. I am happy because we are doing good things for society…recycling paper and that is good for the environment. The work environment here is good, I don’t have to be ashamed of myself and my disability. The staff are really good working out people’s strength and weaknesses getting the right people to do the right jobs. I have learnt that different people have different abilities, that everyone has a different life experience and that everyone can learn from each other. I have learnt that it is important to be myself and be proud of who I am. I have worked in open employment and it was stressful, there was pressure to work the job on their terms and become the type of person they wanted me to be. I found that staff and management were unsympathetic to my disability. I feel that I am in a place where I feel safe and I don’t feel threatened. I was bullied in other places I have worked at.
