I have a passion for electronics and stereos and want to learn all about them and give you interesting facts. Music is important to me, especially Christmas music! I like various TV programmes such as cooking shows or Mrs Browns Boys. I am proud of being able to continue to live on my own with support, It is a goal of mine to continue to live this way. My mum is very important to me; I enjoy spending time with my family and have good family bonds and connections, they provide me with lots of emotional support and consistency, I would like to maintain these relationships.
