I was incarcerated at an early age. Before I was able to gain any real work experience or skills. I felt like a lost cause that nobody would give a chance. Then I met Marsha, and she told me about Pitzer Family Education Foundation. The foundation enrolled me on a trade certificate course at ABC Training Academy and I was so excited about getting a chance to better my circumstances. The course was hard at first and I wanted to give up, but Marsha encouraged me to keep going. Now I am finished with the class. I have gained skills, but most important, I have gained the chance for a better life. Thank you Pitzer for showing me my worth.
