[HMO_specialist-wannabe]

Im 20 years old now, but when I was 15 I took an impulsive overdose stupid teenager stuff, was fortunate enough to walk away without any damage and have spent the last 5 years getting my life back on track. However, im just worried that this will go against me in the application process can anyone give me some advice if this will or not please.
