Second Chances Are Possible!!

                                                   

It seems like that I am sitting in a four corner room starring at candles.

That was my life before I got here. I had just got out of the service with no job waiting for me and homeless. Fighting a drug addiction life seem to have no purpose for. The only thing that I was taught was too kill and I did that well. But a friend that I ran into on the streets had told me that I could enroll at Trade Tech and find my way back, back being constructive and productive. I did just that as well getting into drug program through the Disabled Student Service and the VA. I'm going to graduate this coming year from the Electronics Program with an AS Degree.

“There is almost nothing beautiful about it. No clean cut grass or flower garden to walk by. No interesting building designs or sculptures. Nothing at all, a prison school.”   

She continued her assessment of LATTC, “Most of the people here seem to be here only because their parents are forcing them to get some sort of education. Depressing as that may be, this school seems to change people's lives around. I've met ex convicts who through this school and well driven determination have changed their lives around. This school provides a service of a 2nd chance, in some cases a 3rd and 4th chance but no one is really counting here. 

I've never seen a better program to help struggling people move forward. That why it gets 3 stars. It helps people. I never thought I would see people that are homeless or just out of prison trying to better them by going to college.” 

You have something to say post a comment and we’ll pass it on to the leadership. They need to know what’s going on campus and feel your input.
