Follow your dream.

Take one step at a time and don’t settle for less,
Just continue to climb. Follow your dream. If you
stumble, don’t stop and lose sight of your goal Press

to the top.
For only on top can we see the whole view, Can we
see what we’ve done and what we can do; Can we
then have the vision to seek something new, Press

on. Follow your dream.

Amanda Bradley

miss, you may hit a star.”

TRANSITIONAL TRADES –
school to livelihood

A small business will help you to:
• continue your education and training
• take care of your basic needs
• feel a sense responsibility
• maintain your dignity
• have a sense of achievement

While you are in school, you should start you own small business. Your teachers are available
to guide you as you prepare your plan. Normally, you should be able to conduct you income
generating activities in your own school or the neighbouring community.

Don’t watch the clock;
do what it does. Keep going.

$10,000

What can you start with $10,000?

Edgar A. Guest
When things go wrong as they sometimes will; When the road

you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low, and
the debts are high;

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh; When care is
pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how

close you are; It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go

wrong that you mustn’t quit.
