Sarah Kyles encourages all of us, including those with learning disabilities like she has, to try new things.
My name is Sarah Kyles and I live with my mum in a house in Burton-On-Trent.
I have quite a busy week. On Monday I often got out with Becky my P.A., We sometimes go shopping, Becky helps me to choose clothes, or to buy birthday presents for my family. Sometimes I go to my brother Matthew’s house for tea and we watch a DVD together.
On Tuesday I go to a unit in Litchfield which is a workshop. I work all day packing screws and nuts in plastic bags I like going to the workshop.
On Wednesday I sometimes go out with Becky again if its nice weather we take a picnic to the park. On Wednesday evening I go to cell group with my church friends,and we worship and look at the bible.
On Thursday afternoon I go to the church charity shop, called Newstart, as a volunteer where I sort clothes, write stock tickets and other things. I like going.
On Fridays I am now going to Briars Barn in Polesworth. I do cooking, I sometimes look after the animals: goats, chickens, sheep and ponies. I meet my friend Ellie who goes too. I have free time on Saturday and I like to do writing in my bedroom, watch DVDs and sometimes go out with my mum.
On Sunday morning I go to church with my mum and we see my brother Matthew there, and sometimes my sister Marie meets us if she isn’t working.
I like writing and people say my writing is very neat. I like cooking and I am good at preparing vegetables and I am quite good at reading too.
I find riding a bike difficult and I don’t like running fast. People like my mum and brother and sister have helped me with difficult things. Also Harry my Mencap Mentor has helped me to do shop work.
I like to go to church every Sunday to learn about Jesus. I like to read my Word for Today booklet every day and I like to watch my Jesus of Nazareth video too.
I like my life and think I should keep on doing new things, so should you! Just because I have a Learning Disability it doesn’t mean I can’t try new things, we should all try new things.
Love Sarah Kyles
