I chose to be in Green City Force because at that point in my life, I felt I was surrounded by nothing but negativity. I wanted to change that for the sake of my daughter who is now three years old. This was the opportunity I needed to get my life on a positive track and to build a career. The most important things that I have learned while I was in GCF are responsibility and confidence. I was forced to step out of my shell and adopt these attributes. I felt like a valued team member in the way others accepted my input, even if it wasn’t the best suggestion. I am thankful for being a Corps Member with Green City Force and grateful for the opportunity they presented for a better, more sustainable life. When I graduate GCF, I plan on getting a green career and helping contribute more to environmental sustainability.
