Mariela Rivera, 24 year old hotel lodging student from San Juan, Puerto Rico, has been at the center for 150 days. Mariela began WBL at the Floyd County Conservation center on January 16th, 2012. Since then, her supervisor, Mr. Tony Grubb, has sent a letter requesting that Mariela work 6 weeks longer due to the outstanding work she has done for the center. Mariela has helped with educational programs in the Floyd County school system and she is the head start for classrooms at May Valley Elementary. On a recent visit on the first of March, Mariela taught the May Valley head start students shapes, colors, and numbers 1-10 in Spanish. Mariela was also involved in conservation activities within the community when she participated in seed giveaways on March 6th, 2012 at the Floyd Cl. Extension Office.
Mariela's valuable on-the-job experience along with her community involvement will only ensure her continued success after completing Job Corps. Mariela's example of success shows that "Job Corps Works."
