“Fyddwn i ddim yn berson ydw i nawr os nad oedd ar gyfer MPCT”

Cysylltodd cyn Ddysgwr yng Ngholeg Paratoi Milwrol Casnewydd â Phrif Swyddfa MPCT yr wythnos hon i fynegi ei ddiolch a’i werthfawrogiad am MPCT. Aeth Lewis Bond, sydd bellach yn Lance Corporal Bond, allan yr wythnos ddiwethaf i’r Heddlu Milwrol Brenhinol. Ymwelodd â’i hen goleg ddydd Llun 10 Mehefin, lle digwyddodd ein Rheolwr Gyfarwyddwr Huw Lewis MBE ar yr un pryd. Siaradodd Mr Lewis â Lance Corporal Bond a dywedodd ei fod yn huawdl, yn gwrtais ac yn bleser siarad ag ef. Darllenwch isod yr hyn a ysgrifennodd Lewis atom;

Clywais am MPCT trwy ffrind a oedd eisoes yn mynychu’r coleg a phan gyrhaeddais gyntaf, roeddwn i’n nerfus ac yn teimlo ychydig yn unig gan nad oeddwn yn adnabod neb. Roedd hyn yn gartrefol yn gyflym gan fod pawb yn y coleg yn gyfeillgar a chroesawgar a gwnaeth y Staff waith anhygoel wrth setlo i mewn. Roedd fy amser yn MPCT yn anhygoel ac ni fyddwn yn newid rhywbeth yn ei gylch. Roedd yn gwella fy ffitrwydd, fy hyder ac yn gyffredinol roedd yn fy gwella. Dydw i ddim yn credu mai fi fyddai’r person rydw i nawr, neu yn fy swydd freuddwyd os nad oedd ar gyfer MPCT. Llawenydd

 

Llongyfarchiadau i Lance Corporal Bond!
