Charleston Job Corps Y2Y Hosts’ “Stop the Violence” Event

Charleston Job Corps Center Youth2Youth Ambassador’s hosts’ the Stop the Violence Event to help with the center culture by promoting peace amongst students.
As part of the event, we were honored to have our guest speaker, The Honorable Chief Circuit Judge of Kanawha County, Mr. Hollis Lewis.
During his presentation, Lewis left three guidelines for students to keep in the forefront of their minds for the rest of their lives in order to be successful.
• Always Be Professional
No matter where you are in life, what position or title you have, always carry yourself in a professional manner.

• Control your Emotions
Always have emotional intelligence. There is a difference between being emotional and having emotions. Mentally react without emotionally responding.

• Stay Focused
Your focus has to be on you. Keep 100% of your focus on you and where you are trying to go. Make sure you are the center of your focal point.
Lewis said, “We are living in the most distracted of times”. “Put your phones down, cut the tv off and take the necessary breaks in order to take advantage of your time, thus allowing you to think and prepare for your future”.
