My name is Cody, I want to share my Story about being off center during COVID–19.

When COVID sent you home for an extended spring break, what were you most nervous about?

I did not have a stable living environment.

Once Job Corps launched its virtual learning platform, what were you most excited out?

I was not exited at all, I need hands on and books.

What kinds of challenges did you face as a result of COVID and being home?

I had no family environment and I was homeless.

How did Job Corps staff help you face those challenges?

The staff encouraged me to stay on track, until a window was open so I could return.

Do you have a favorite teacher, instructor or counselor?

I had a lot of staff to help me, here’s the list; Simpson, Bradly, Bengtson, Hughes, Williams, Callinder, Cash, Clark, Hubbard, Horsley, Adams, Walsh, Towns, Hurt, Brinkley, Eckart, Brooks, Robinson, Patrick, Smith, Giles and Bell.

I appreciate all of them, I love and respect them all.

How did that favorite teacher, instructor or counselor help you?

I was treated with respect as an adult.

What are you most hopeful about as 2021 begins?

I now have a chance at a stable career.
