Parent Stories

Since John has been home after attending YC and graduating June 19, 2009, he has been more respectful with his words and helped a few times with mowing the yard and taking out the trash.  Also John has gone to work with his dad doing plumbing as a helper.  He has helped his older sister and his Grandmother some.  We appreciate the experiences that YC had on John.  His mentor has called John on the phone and kept in touch with him.  We are looking into the Job Corps opportunities hopefully to enroll him soon. 

Thanks so much
