Coming up I don't really remember too much of my childhood but it started from...
the age twelve to seventeen i've found myself uh... out of control.
I went through a lot of the
juvenile justice system as far as youth centers.
uh...
Group homes *cough* excuse me. As far as to help me with respect for authority.
I fell into gangs a lot of violence.
uh... didn't really like school much.
So i have problems there. As I began to get older and I started settling down.
To to figure out what I was going to do with myself.
uh...
I try to slow down as far as continuing to go to school and keeping good. grades.
I just need some assistance and just someone to motivate me more and keep positive people around me.
he passed it on the
I researched and found out about the Goodwill program
I found them and signed up right away. I had a problem at first because
me being alone by myself
at already nineteen or twenty I had worked so I had overqualified as far as
income guidelines
Um they helped me out. They let me into the program they assisted me.
They help me do a lot of training as far as with jobs, resume writing.
They kind of helped me figure out what I wanted to do in life.
So once I realized I wanted to be a dental assistant. Because I like teeth and i like doing different things with teeth.
We got me into a training class.
I went through that training program for about twelve to sixteen weeks.
Graduated. I am not a dental assistant at Charles View Health Center. full-time.
A positive role model. I don't let my environment put me down.
as far as i just keep it pushing.
keep it moving
and stay motivated.
I am really successful now I am happy where I am. I am happy Goodwill helped me like they helped me.
I was kinda lost and they kinda found me.
