Green City Force has opened a new beginning and highlight to my life. I came out of my comfort zone through a lot of things such as traveling, building, and growing. GCF was brought to my attention by a friend who was in the program. I was unemployed and looking for a position and was told this program would be a great place for me. I learned from GCF that if you “train your mind, the body will follow”. I taught myself to live by that call and response because no matter what you go through you have the ability to control your mind to make the smartest decision and your body strength will follow through and fight through your challenges. I’ve learned to keep a level head and see that there’s a lot of opportunities in this world you just have to go and find it. I also learned they have a lot of access to many different organizations. I was able to get my OSHA 40 and many more certifications. I have been able to stay positive being at site and becoming an urban farmer. I also surrounded myself around genuine people. I want to give my whole Wagner team a big thank you for pushing me through my 6 months and I want to thank my fellows, Zaire and Jamari, for being a great support system throughout my whole journey. A big thank you to my Service Coordinator, Chastidy, for being a great leader and putting us in the right condition to be on site and always being appreciative toward us. We sometimes had our tough days but still ended it with a smile. Thank you, GCF.
