Thank you for being you!     Last night twenty six of our amazing students graduated.   What became evident to me as I handed them their diplomas was the immense pride and excitement they felt.  And why shouldn't they  feel proud they have worked tirelessly over the past 18 months to achieve this qualification.   Their families were proud and we were proud.     Our students are more than just clients to us, they are real people with real challenges, who are striving to make a difference to the lives of others and quite frankly our communities need more people like them.     I once stood where they were standing and I personally know the courage it takes to start a new career. More importantly, I know is that each and every one of them will succeed in their career because they genuinely care about society as a whole. They have a social conscience, they understand the importance of emotional and social intelligence and the have developed amazing communication skills during their training.     The world needs more of them!     As I drove home I had an immense feeling of pride in the work we do.  Every day I deal with bureaucratic policy and changes to be able to deliver diploma level training to students. Sometimes this completely overwhelms me , however when I see the difference we are making to the lives of beautiful students, who in turn make a positive difference to the lives of others, I know I have to keep wading my way through the bureaucracy.     I only wish that our politicians could actually see that through education and commitment the world be a better place.     What is more important that we, at Jigsaw, learn off all our students every single day. We learn to be humble as we listen to some of the huge struggles they have endured or are enduring. Yet, despite this they have a smile on their faces as  they persist in their studies with passion and zest.     This really does make our job a real pleasure.     So to all our students we thank you for the lessons we learn from you, those lessons keep us grounded and remind us of the importance of genuinely caring for others.  Without knowing it you are already making a huge difference to the lives of others.     So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being you.     Sally Healey & the whole team at Jigsaw Training
