My name is Manny Nylen and I am a student in the Skills for Tertiary Education Preparatory Studies (STEPS) Program. I am also the grateful recipient of a Be Ready Equity Pack.

I was driving up from Melbourne to start my studies at CQU in Cairns when my car was broken into and all of my possessions were stolen. Everything was gone. When I explained to my lecturers what had happened, they arranged for me to receive a Be Ready Equity Pack, containing a laptop, essential software, stationery and other basic items. Receiving the pack was a huge weight of my mind, and it really helped me to focus on my studies.

When I finish the STEPS Program, I'm planning to enroll in the Bachelor of Paramedicine, so I can help other people.
