Review of Tualatin HS; Springdale Job Co...

I attended SJCC from February 2009 until October 2...

I attended SJCC from February 2009 until October 2010... I had a wonderful experience there. Even though there is a lot of dramam between students, because we come from diverse backgrounds and home training, as well as hard family lives and etc, it was all worth it. I learned tollerance, respect, how to get along with those I didn't particularily care for, that what someone seems like may not be how they really are, and how to make friends and handle enemies. I learned the importance of listening, rather than speaking. I learned how to be prepared for my work day and how my tardiness can affect more than myself. I learned bedside manner, work ethic in general, how to keep a smile in the feild, and felt completely ready and educated before I took my CNA test. I think I had a wonderful Instructor, Bruce Brown. Also, I had a wonderful Career guidance Counselor and help through NE Works after I graduated. I felt fully ready to be in the real world, and prepared for the jobs I was offered. My internship during my attendance at SJCC was awesome and truly prepared me for more than i needed, so I felt confident when I accepted my first job in the Medical Feild. I honestly wouldn't have progressed as well as I did without attending that school. And the food is really 100 times better than High School Cafeteria or Jail food, as opposed to what some people may tell you. My best advice, go in without expectations, except to learn a trade, stay focussed, and Job corps will benefit you tremendously!!!
