I have been running my own business in the last 5 years since finishing my degree. I wrote scripts for, created, presented and edited videos for my own YouTube channel. The channel has over 12k subscribers and over 300 full-length videos. I have built my own little community on YouTube and, while it was extremely fun and engaging, I have also received many private messages from young people regarding troubles they may be having. This reignited my passion of making a difference in the community and helping those who are disadvantaged. I was once in their shoes, and I know how this feels.
