My Experience:

Working with Oxme has helped me in many different ways, I have learnt so many things to help me in the future. Prior to starting this experience I was really nervous to travel alone for the first time and meet new people, however I now know that new experiences aren't as scary as you may think, and it is normal to be scared. 

I have learnt how to use a computer effectively, for example I created my own signature and understand how to send emails correctly. This experience will also help with job seeking as I will have a reference to add to my cv. I am looking forward to learning even more new and interesting things to expand my knowledge.
