    I remember when I enrolled at Job Corps. It was June 15, 2015. I had to be there at 11:00. I got up early that morning because I was excited to go. When I got up, I wasn’t done packing, so I began packing. The rest of my family were still sleeping. My father picked me up at 10:30. I left without saying bye to my family. I finally arrived at Job Corps, and I removed my bags from the car. Then I went into the security office. I met all of the other new people, but I don’t speak to them any longer.…

They said their goodbyes we said ours then I had to fill out some papers…

The last job I was doing was working for a daycare as a janitor. With all the jobs I was doing I still needed more money.…

    The most memorable day for me was the day when I came to Job Corps for the first time. There was an insane amount of highlights all that day. Besides the new facility, there were a lot of new people and new rules that I was required to follow. It was the change of scenery, temperature, and lifestyle that I found quite difficult to adjust to. The changes that I have made from that day up until now still amaze me. As soon as I found myself at the campus, I was astonished by all different people,…

    The first time I heard about Job Corps was around December 2016. It was around my birthday; I had just turned 17. At that time, I wasn’t in school because I just got expelled for the second time. I couldn’t go back to a normal high school because of that. The only option I had in order to get my diploma was alternative school. I didn’t feel like being put in that type of environment around other people that caused trouble because that would only get me in more trouble. So around that time is…
