Why did I join the ABE group?
The reason I wanted to learn Information Technology at ABE classes was to help me in my SVQ in Conservation Studies at the Scottish Wildlife
Trust.
Last year I had about eight reports to write on conservation work that I had done. The reports covered tree planting, dry stane dyking, ponds and that sort of thing. The reports were a lot harder for me to do than the work, as I have dyslexia. I found it was a problem for me to do the written
reports.
The team leader on the conservation team asked me if I would like some help with my writing - that is when I got in contact with
ABE. In the past year, I have passed my SVQ in Conservation Work and I have also completed a SQA in
I.T.
I have found that working with the computers has helped me a lot more than anything else that I have tried to do to improve my writing and spelling, as I can use the spell check to correct my
spelling.
My future goals are to get some more SQA qualifications in I.T. and I also want to get the European Computer Driving
License.

Sharon Lynn
She has blue eyes like diamond
Her eyes sparking when she looks at him
With love, her long blonde hair
She smiles but tears run down her face
A passion, in her hear for him, who loves her,
The way she is, kiss on the face shared together
Smile, her blue eyes make him weak at the knees
He loves to meet her in his arms
Where she will stay.
