I have been coming to Horizons for about two years. I began by doing two courses a week.  My first Course was on a Monday which is Basic English. Then on Friday I began a course called Computer Workshop. I remember I was very scared at first. I sat outside for a long time before I came into the building and knocked on the door.  When I had done that I was taken in to a small room where I was interviewed. I can’t remember which tutor interviewed me but she was very friendly. The tutor who interviewed me showed me the courses that were on at the time. I decided to try two courses to start with to see how I felt. On the Monday I began my first course which was Basic English I was terrified of going into the room.  When went into the room I meet my first tutor who was Julie.  After sitting there for some time.  I slowly began to less scared than I was. It was very relaxed in the room and every student was at different levels so that made me feel better. I had my next course on the Friday which was IT. The tutor was Sue who I’ve known for many years.  Knowing Sue for so long helped me to relax more quickly. As the weeks went on I began to increase my courses, I began to do a spelling course and the tutor was Pat. The course lasts for two hours.   After the first hour we have a break and you can have tea or coffee for only 20p.  I have now been going to Horizons for more than two years.  I now come to Horizons five days a week.  I have made a lot of friends in this time and I have learnt so much in the two years that I have been coming to Horizons. I feel that I could not have coped in Hastings College so it is a good thing that there is something like horizons.

I had a special friend by the name of Evelyn.  Sadly she past away and she will be sadly missed.
