My Trip To Job Corps

I played some last games of “Destiny” with my little brother before I left. I didn’t eat any breakfast because I was so nervous going to Job Corps.

My little brother was try to keep me calm but I was walking around the port to see if I was in the wrong area, but then time pass and I realize that the person I was at the Job Corps orientation with came to the same area I was in.
