<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">Career Goal:</span> </b></span>I would like to start my own company one day. I'm mainly interested in the real estate industry, so this class definitely gives me more confidence and increases the level of independence I could achieve in that industry. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Why did you join the program?</b></span> Around the time I found this program, I was just finding myself thrown into the world on my own and this time with a one-year-old little boy. When I found the advertisement for this class, it listed that it was free, and they offered child care and transportation assistance. I was amazed how all my current setbacks were relieved by this one program.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763;">What was the hardest part of the class?</span> </b>The hardest part of the class was keeping up with the fast pace learning that the short class offers. <br />

<b><span style="color: #073763;">What has been your favorite part of the experience?</span> </b>My favorite part of the class was being able to work with my hands and create something from nothing. <br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">Career Goal:</span> </b></span>To obtain a stable job and enjoy it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Why did you join the program?</b></span> The first thing that caught my attention was the child care and the compassion from Ms. Lauren when she was explaining the program to me. To me, she was the angel I needed in my life, because everything that was a burden was being lifted as she kept explaining.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763;">What was the hardest part of the class?</span> </b>Nothing really, because I started the program with an open mind.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763;">What has been your favorite part of the experience?</span> </b><b> </b>Everything, everything, everything! From meeting great friends,
to sweating in the sun, to being rained out, to pinching my finger with
a tape measure (lol), my experience was awesome! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>What are your hopes for the future?</b></span> To use my education and experience to gain stability. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>What would you tell someone who is considering joining the program? </b></span>Join it! You will not regret it, I promise!MCH Communicationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17330833663724025071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213222587111475308.post-55535071941674857992017-06-30T12:28:00.000-05:002017-07-31T11:52:17.781-05:00Student Spotlight: Yasmin Lang<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">Career Goal:</span> </b></span>My career goal is to become proficient in the ins and outs of houses, from the ground up, as well as restoring older homes. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Why did you join the program?</b></span> I joined the WinC program as a means to further my independence and build onto my own skills to become more self-sufficient.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763;">What was the hardest part of the class?</span> </b>The hardest part of the class was opening up with my fellow classmates. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #073763;">What has been your favorite part of the experience?</span> </b>All onsite work, especially working on a storage roof installing vents was very fun. (You might have seen me on the <a href="https://wxxv25.com/2017/06/14/women-construction-work-projects-city-gautier/" target="_blank">news</a>.) <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>What are your hopes for the future?</b></span> To have a career I'm passionate about. To see more women and girls having an interest, and careers, in non-traditional jobs. To rebuild Biloxi homes impacted by Hurricane Katrina and bring back affected communities. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>What would you tell someone who is considering joining the program? </b></span>Keep pushing and don't give up. Stay open-minded, be eager to learn, and ask questions. Do not make this harder than it has to be. Use all resources offered to you.
