Leaving school as a young teenager with no qualifications, Shauna Kaleta has now turned her life around for the better.
The Bangor woman, was in residential care from the age of 14 and left school at the same age without qualifications. She had her first child during her teenage years and now, at 23, is mother to a seven, six and three-year-old.
As her children began to start school, she wanted to do something for herself but, with no work experience, was unsure where to begin and found the prospect of re-entering education daunting without financial support.
