I Dream of a Better Future
I grew up in Harvey helping my dad and uncles fix up our old house. They taught me not only how to build, but also how to create.
Unfortunately, our community is going through rough times. My mom lost her job at the end of last year, and it doesn’t look like she will find one soon. My dad tries to find odd jobs for extra money.
I never thought I would graduate high school, always thinking I would have to leave school and help make money for the family.
Building My Future
My mom always tells me to put good in the world – a main reason I want to build things.
Completing the Building Science program at CEDA’s Training Center will help me to begin a career in construction to create a better future for myself, my family and other young people – all while REBUILDING Chicagoland!
