It has been a long hard journey, but one that I would never change, and one that I will never forget. I will take this experience with me forever, and never forget the supportive people and environment that TAFE has provided.

It makes me so sad and mad when I think other people in similar circumstances will not have this same opportunity.

On a broader level, I'm so angry that the whole education system will be subject to delivering courses in a competitive, cost effective, cut throat manner.

With education taking this direction, what kind of workers will we have working with our most disadvantaged and vulnerable people? My guess is workers with a rushed and lesser quality education. I truly feel for teachers that are so passionate about what they teach in their chosen fields.
