Yes you!
I have finished my first rotation, and feel so pumped about it all. After three weeks in the classroom, being out there and putting my new skills into practise, albeit with oversight and guidance, has been amazing.
I have learned so much, and have so so much more to learn, and then lots more to experience before I can honestly say I know what I am doing. But I am in good hands, and feel that the road ahead is a good one.
The trainers and people I am learning with on the job have gone a long way to make me feel so positive about it all, but there is another part.... And that part is YOU.
Well, some of you anyway lol. From the point of applying for this job, all the way through the assessments, tests, and interviews, not to mention while waiting on the dreaded DBS, there have been voices in my ear, keeping me on track, making sure all was OK, and giving me the encouragement and positivity I needed to get me to where I am today.
So to you, I say thank you. I am well aware we all have busy lives, and some of the people on my cheer team have really had a lot going on in their lives. Things I am very aware of and would have understood if you gave me a wide berth. But no, you have stood by me, encouraged me, kept me motivated and helped me reach the state of mind I am in now.
This is a place I have not been for a long time, and it feels amazing, so all the more reason to say thank you and thank you again.
People I have known decades, others that I have know just a few years. Some I have met regularly since I still had hair, others as little as once. But regardless, you guys have taken the time to check in on me regularly, express an interest in how things are going, and to prop me up and set me straight when I have wobbled a bit.
You are all quite frankly amazing, so if I haven't already said it.... Thank you.
That's all. As you were!
