"I'm much more confident about reading things at work. Previously I wanted to do only the hands-on side of the job, but now I'm prepared to get into the paperwork."

"I couldn't read a normal book to my son pretty much, had trouble with that.
And now I read him bedtime stories so it has helped my confidence."
