Before school I was happy and content with working in a factory. I was happy to be going on my 13th year of employment. To my dismay, I was handed that all too famous "pink slip". I searched for over a year in finding employment, but had no success. The opportunity arose that I could go back to school to learn a different occupation. I hated the thought of being in a classroom for 6 hours a day. While on the skeptical side, I decided to give it a shot. I knew very little about computers or office work. I am glad my caseworker brought the idea of Business Office Technologies to my attention.... I have learned so much about computers and the different software that's often used in an office. I feel more confident...I have gained back my self-esteem, my pride, and do not fear trying to learn something new at my age!
