Approaching The End...

As we approach the end of the Summer Youth Program I'd like to thank DDOT on behalf of all the youth for allowing us to truly experience the "work world". DDOT has given us great task and assignments that will be useful in our future. Some people started out just working for the money but after these 6 weeks found themselves very intrigued in the work they were doing and looked forward to coming to work everyday. Others still only come for the paycheck and some have been terminated due to lack of attendance and failure to communicate. Through all of this the real thanks goes to Ms. Latoya Yarde. Ms Yarde has worked extremely hard over the last 6 weeks to keep this program a success. She has dealt with things as simple as correcting time sheets and as complex as dealing with "teenage drama". We all appreciate Ms Yarde for her dedication to the program and believe me I know she is glad it is almost over. As for the supervisors of the students we also thank you for not only setting aside time to teach these young men and women but for supporting Ms. Yarde so that this program could be a success. It has been a rocky road for some of us but we made it and I must say I will miss coming here everyday informing the public about the things we do here at DDOT.!

ALTHOUGH WE'VE REACHED THE END OF TH ROAD WE'VE COME TO AN OPEN DOOR OF A NEW BEGINNING
