I think of the individuals that supported and motivated me to want more out of life. Enrolling into Job Corps was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. By being a part of the program, Job Corps allowed me to gain the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in the work force. Although there were obstacles in my life, I had a support system on and off center (Ms. Townsend, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Kelly, and Dee Franzen) helped me overcome those obstacles. With that support I was not only able to finish a trade and High School with a 3.4 GPA. But I was able to obtain two College Degrees with a 3.8 GPA.”
