As written by the client.
- "I have limbgirdle muscular dystrophy, which causes my muscles to weaken over time, so I need someone who is understanding and patient as it will take me longer to do things. I want to be as independent as possible, so I've chosen Worcester University because it is a few hours away from my home in Falmouth, Cornwall._

I have chosen to study Counseling Psychology as it is a big passion of mine. I try to keep in the loop with going on as much as possible. I enjoy going out and socialising, whether that be participating in my Table tennis, going for meals or other general out and about activities, so PA's who are prepared to support me in these activities are important. I have a good sense of humour; I do not take myself too seriously It's just important to me that all care is undertaken in a discreet manner under my instruction
I just want to get it done so I can continue with whatever I'm doing; my personal needs shouldn't ever get in the way of living life. I hope to make the most of many social opportunities at uni. I am extremely close to my family and will travel back home most holidays to visit.''_
