“I’m part of a military family out of a farm town in Illinois, so growing up I thought my job opportunities would be joining the military, being a farmer, or going to college. The Delta Career Advancement Center showed me those weren’t my only options and helped me, a high school student at the time, not only experiment with other career fields, but they were there every step of the way to help. I learned about good work ethic and personal responsibility.”
