Elisajane was heading for a career as a state-level ballerina when fate took a turn and she tore her ACL, resulting in a knee reconstruction and an end to a career on the stage. Elisajane was forced to reconsider other career paths and she chose early childhood education and care. Her greatest concerns, though, were her learning disabilities. Although worried about disclosing them at her initial interview, she was so glad she did, as the support she received ensured she had everything she needed to succeed. She is passionate about making a positive impact on children’s lives, but her ultimate goal is to complete a teaching qualification, which would not have been possible without her traineeship.
