Shobie attended our Support Works Program a few sessions ago. She worked on and through different issues during her time with us. After Shobie completed Job Readiness and Life Skill classes, she volunteered at our Front Desk answering phones and providing clients with information. I think while she was helping us at Elk Grove Food Bank Services, she was figuring out how and what to do next in her life to work toward her goals.
Shobie decided to attend Cosumnes River College. She has completed two semesters. Today Shobie came in to visit and update us on her progress. We were not aware of her artistic interests and talent; she told us about her enjoyment and success in recent classes in Printmaking and Ceramics and declaring her major in Art.
We found out that jobs are available to those who attend CRC. As a Teacher's Assistant in the day care center on campus, Shobie enjoys her job interacting with and caring for the youngest ones on campus. It is her hope to combine these two interests, art and children, and be able to teach and share with children her love of the Arts.
We are so happy and proud of Shobie, and her pursuit of education in an area that she is excited about.
