Talk to the Quest Team
Doing these kinds of exercises on your own can be hard, that’s why we run the Gap Year Quest and other Quest programs… it’s easier when you do this stuff with other people!
If you want a bit of extra support you can book in a time to talk to Roland (or one of the other Quest Team if Roland’s not your vibe).
CLICK HERE to book in a chat with Roland or if you don’t like talking on the phone just go to the contacts page on this website, grab his mobile and shoot him a text. (OR if you really don’t like phones you can get your parent or guardian to have the chat for you… easy!).
