Comment on LiA Week 3 & 4!!
Sep 29, 2025

Great update Elena, I hope the rest of your LiA goes well.  "I sometimes struggle to have the confidence in myself that I know what I'm doing and have the ability to control a situation, which I think comes with feeling 'too young'." I'm a fair few years older than you and still feel like this sometimes, especially with teenagers! I don't think it's age that brings the confidence you're describing; it's experience. And you only gain that experience by being brave enough to take that first step, which is you have, so congrats! Look forward to hearing how the rest of your time went!

Have read your weekly updates and looks incredible Cothney, and I'm sure you've made a long lasting imprint on the people you've met over the past six weeks. Hope you have readjusting to home and feel energised for the new term.

Thanks for the update Tyler! Very interested to hear what you learn from local families and children for your report, and pleased to hear you're keeping fit along the way.
