I volunteered to go to at 16 was a 9th grade drop out and was just going no where in life. I was wanting to quit my first week due to the treatment we received, living in small rooms on bunkbeds where every morning safe flips on all the lights yelling get up and will pull you out og bed if you dont get up.

Then after eating we had to clean the dorm and make our beds. Which btw if you fail to do that 30 degree fold they would throw you entire mattress on the floor and and punish you with a hour of extra cleaning like the toilets. Staff dose anything they want to you, abusing the fact they can point you out which means for some people jail time if they get kicked out so it always put strain on those few. Now that i mentioned the bad stuff now onto the good while i was there i attended their high school program and got my GED at 16 and then a HSD at just 17.

I went into carpentry and computer works, learning skills that i still use to this day i went for two years straight. I came in at 230+ pounds of fat and left 189 solid muscle.

I made many close friends that im still in contact till this day been 10 years now. Its not for everyone but if you come in with the right mind set and stay focus you will leave with skills to set your left on the right course i now own two business and on my third house and i owe it to them giving me the hard life lessons i really needed
