Student Submission

It’s the last week, and we are all wondering how on earth the program went by so fast? Was it the fact that it lasted six weeks, or the fact that we had so much fun learning? We have made friends that will last a lifetime, and memories that will last forever. We are grateful for this opportunity that gave us the experiences we need for schooling, jobs, and choosing a college. We are grateful for the bonds we made and shared with other people and we have learned that we are not alone in a lot of things. These weeks with the career and development have made us stronger, braver, and less afraid of what is left to come, and for this, we are thankful.

The Career and Development Program is a summer program run by the Akwesasne Area Management Board. This article is by a student there, and was submitted by Melissa Mader.
