James’ Story
Having heard of the fantastic work that SYFC do, I was extremely excited to be to able work alongside the team during my work experience placement.
Day 1 was like the first day of school. I was worried about whether I would fit in, whether the staff would like me and I was terrified. I had no idea what to expect but as soon as I walked through the doors of the office, I could see that I would really enjoy my week here. When I met the SYFC staff, I really started to feel like I was one of the family and part of the team. Working in schools I helped run assemblies, lunchclubs and after school clubs. The schools I visited all opened my eyes to how dedicated and hard working teachers and youth workers are. Whilst working alongside the pro’s, I began to realise how much work goes into preparing and delivering lessons and sessions. In lessons I worked with students with behaviour and confidence issues. I was able to see these people from a completely new perspective and be a part of the process of helping them to grow their self confidence and challenging their disruptive behaviour.
This was possibly the best work placement I could ever have chosen; I was able to laugh and work with some really great people and I feel I was able to be help make the world a better place, one that is more focused on God’s Kingdom. I feel that my placement was a divine appointment and if I’m allowed to, I definitely want to come back.
