How does a person go about thanking someone who has changed her life?
I needed something in my life for so long but I just was not sure what.
I think that I now know that it was change and I have been afraid of change
for a long time. Sometimes when a person has been stuck somewhere for so
long they will just give up. When you give up, you lose hope and fear
sometimes takes over your life. You learn to do the best that you can where
you are, and I was at the bottom. I have learned through this program that
change is nothing to be afraid of, but you need strength and wisdom to handle
the changes and that’s what this program has given me. I have grown so much
spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. You have planted a seed of joy and
hope in my life. The day that I walked in the Christian Women's Job Corps I
really did not know what to expect, but even then I could feel the joy and the
hope that this place gives. Please never stop giving.
