Shane has a catchphrase “Don’t just sit there in the corner. Go out and do something about it!”
That is exactly what Shane has done, and he is now reaping the rewards.
As a child, Shane was diagnosed with learning difficulties and disabilities and attended a Special Needs school. Sadly, he had a difficult time there, and he left with no qualifications.
Not happy just sitting at home, he decided he needed to get a job. However, when he was able to find work, it was never the right fit for him. Determined to not give up, Shane went into Selly Oak Centre and enrolled onto a Maths course. This year, he is studying to improve both his English and maths.
Understandably, Shane was initially quiet in the classroom. However, starting to feel safe and more relaxed in this new learning environment, he came out of his shell. His natural desire to help other people meant it wasn’t long before he was helping any classmates who were struggling. His tutor says:
“Shane is a joy to have in the classroom. His contributions to class activities are always positive and he genuinely wants to help others.”
Shane wants to work either within the animal care industry or a support worker with an educational role. With his determination and caring attitude, we have no doubt he will achieve his goals.
