Moraine Valley

I am majoring in Animation because I have always been fascinated with Japanese animation known as Anime and I would like to be more involved with it.
Where do you work and what do you do?
I work at UPS as a loader.
How many hours a week do you work?
I work part-time, but it is the graveyard shift. UPS is paying for my college and I have to work the hours they give me.
What is the one thing you miss the most from JILG?
I miss the people. I’ve met a lot of good people and made lots of great friends thanks to JILG.
How has JILG helped you or impacted you?
JILG has taught me how to organize myself so I have time to work and go to school while still being able to have a social life.
What is the one thing that you learned in JILG and how has it helped you?
I remember having to dress up and bring a resume and do an interview with Ms. Serrano. I was shocked how unprepared I was, but that’s why we did it so we can learn from our mistakes.
What advice would you give a present JILG student?
I would tell them to take advantage of all the help they can get from their Career Specialist. They are there to make us into better people.
