I feel like I did really well the only thing I could say is if we had customers in I would of gotten a higher mark but I’m happy with a pass it just shows how much hard work I put into it and it was all worth it

There is but when I finish work I’d rather be spending time with my daughter and doing things with her but in work I will do anything I get given and too a good standard and in a good timely manner and but I will probably do some social activities with colleagues
