Says Carlos: “I’m happy to have the experience out in the field. It’s a great opportunity.  I give credit to Mr. Marion for preparing me well and all the staff who’ve helped me.  It is wonderful to earn money. I’m saving it up.”

Jordan Healy of D&D had this to say: “In only three weeks, he has really stepped up and impressed our staff, including our Foreman. Most importantly, we’ve recognized that Carlos has more than just the skills, but the attitude to succeed. I’m proud to have him on the team.”

During the last two months Carlos made time to come on campus and study to improve his TABE score in Math.  He worked closely with several academic staff to study, even when physically exhausted from long hours and heavy lifting in the cold weather, he showed up and did his best.   This past week before Christmas Carlos achieved a perfect score of 12.9 on his math TABE     This Job Corps student is going to enjoy his holiday break knowing he pushed himself and came out a winner.
