One day I will never forget is the first day I came to Job Corps. It felt unreal! Just thinking about really leaving the city and going to school; the people, food, rooms everything was on my mind. I was already prepared for the day and actually I was anxious to leave and start school. Although I would miss my mom and my friends, I knew I had to get on to a new start. My whole ride to Port Authority I just wondered how it would be on the center. It was hard for me to actually get comfortable with the fact I was on my way. After getting my ticket, I waited on the line to board the bus and just observed the people getting on with me. I wondered if they were as nervous as me. When I got off at Monticello I knew I was finally here. It was different from the city. No buildings, more grass, and trees; it was more rural. My ambassador had the same name as me. He helped me with my bags on to the bus and immediately started to explain how it would be on campus. Everything he said was true! After about five minutes we left on the charter bus to campus. After arriving at the campus we went to dorm to get our keys and get our bags checked. I couldn’t wait to explore. The only downside was I had no phone service. …show more content…

She explained the rules and regulations of the center, the work criteria and expectations. I just wanted to get started honestly. We sat in the class and said our names and where we were all from.

I threw the hoe against the ground with all of my strength for what seemed like the hundredth time and pulled it back up to rip the grass out. “Hey Jack, do you want to take a break from the field for a little?” my dad asked. “No” I responded, as sweat dripped from my head and covered the back of my shirt. I got back to work, as the hot sun blasted down while thinking to myself after having worked in the field for the last three days, how very badly I wanted to finish the project.

To my astonishment, tears filled my eyes as I packed the car and uttered my final goodbyes, leaving behind what felt like had become my home. I never imagined that I would miss attending the ten hour days of rigorous dance classes, eating mediocre cafeteria food, and constantly feeling on the brink of physical and mental exhaustion.

The first week of the intensive was definitely one of the most physically and mentally exhausting weeks of my life.

not intentional. To prevent this from happening again, step 8 of the Troop Leading Procedure was done and rehearsed by “identifying our weaknesses and practicing essential task((ATTP 5-0.1 p4-1,)” by giving everyone a class on “Arm-and-Hand signal”. My take away from that experience was, even though accidents do happen, they can also be prevented by allowing only individuals who are trained to operate a certain piece of equipment, be the operator for that equipment. As the saying goes, “Life is not fair,” during that whole deployment, the only award that my Fuel section and I received was an AAM.
