Made me feel much more confident and stronger.

I felt anxious coming at first and was worried about who was coming and how they would treat me. But it gave me a massive confidence boost.

I feel that I have learned how to control some of my feelings and I believe that there is good in me.

I never really cared about anything when I was at school or college, like if I done like a piece of work I thought mm s’justa bit of writing whereas now if I finish a whole sketchbook I get well excited.

 I can’t believe this is us. This is what we’ve created, us.

I think I understand people’s feelings a lot better cos about 2 or 3 years ago I wouldn’t of cared about anyone else but myself […] I never really got how everyone else felt […] it’s made me respect people a lot more as well, like to understand where other people are coming from.’

I've done like two shows and an exhibition like since I've been at Miss Rep… it just shows that I can achieve things.

Miss Rep makes me realise like I can stick something out and like go to college or get a job and stuff.
