I am a third-year millennial English teacher at Punchbowl Boys' High School. I'm lucky enough to have two amazing mentors who continually help me traverse the complexities of adult life - my parents. I'm hoping that my story will teach others about the importance of starting early, saving and seeking/embracing mentorship.
When I put down my deposit on an apartment at Sydney Olympic Park two years ago, it was a step towards owning my very first home. What I hadn’t counted on was that gaining a home would lead to me losing nearly 30kg.
