I USED to like going to Blackburn College because I was learning to brush up skills.

I was doing adult literacy and creative writing classes. I was hoping to get an adult literacy Level One Certificate and then I would move on to the next level.

But they stopped me going to the English classes.

They told me that I could only stay for two years and then we had to move on.

I would have liked to continue attending the adult literacy class because it gave me confidence and helped me improve my skills as well.

I was very disappointed and shocked that I could not return to the English class.

I also used to meet lots of people and make new friends too. I also attended creative writing classes, but they were axed last year and I was unable to complete the work I was doing.
