The day I came to Job Corps, I remember leaving my house while my whole family was crying because I was leaving. The reason why they were crying is because I had never gone away from home before. Even though they were sad, at the same time they were happy because I was moving on with my life to better myself. It was hard for my dad to let me go because I am the oldest daughter and I have never separated from my dad. My little sister and my brother were crying too. For my sisters, I’m like their…

My most memorable day was when I first came to Phoenix Job Corps and met my best friend Kaya McCrae. I woke up at 4:30 A.M. that morning, and started to get ready for my first day at school.

I chose Job Corps to further my studies for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons was for what they can offer to you, how much they can help you out within and after you have completed the program. I mean this school has so much to offer to its students, it’s just awesome. The trade I am interested in is computer technology. I chose computer tech because everything these days is about computers, they are everywhere, and computers are always advancing with new technology within them. So…

Honor, courage and commitment, the core values of the Marines, define how every Marine in the Corps thinks, acts and fights. Honor is the foundation of a Marine’s character. A Marine never lies, cheats, or steals and always stands by an adamant code of integrity. Courage is the mental, moral, and physical strength embedded in every Marine. This is what allows Marines to remain calm while presented with fear. Moral courage means having the inner strength to stand up for what is right and to…

lessons that need to be taken into effect to resolve the problem with climate change, a problem people have today. With the environmental issues, Roosevelt wanted to preserve lands such as national parks, so he established the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)8.

Before this time never before in history have artists been considered "workers". But because of the New Deal,…
