Serve! Engaging Youth for Change

ALUMNUS PROFILE

Greg Cannon 2000 - 2001

Greg Cannon

Since Graduation from the program this have been non-stop.

After Grad I found myself bouncing from a couple different job, I also perticipated in a YMCA Federal Internship and combination of other job. I was not able to get the jobs I wanted with out having my GED or some type of high school Diploma.  So as time has passed I have forced it into my brain to get back on track and do what I need to suceed in life and to give me a healthier mental wellbeing.

Good mental health is good in my life, so I can properly raise 3 kids to do the right thing.

I am currently working for a courier company as a ship/reciever, with hope to return to school to compltete the GED testing.

For all youth to have completed the program recently, starting the program or just taking a look wondering what to do; If you need help with direction sign up, but I will say for some of you.... Get you Diploma ASAP, you dont want to experiance life with out it.  It only makes it harder.

benefited: Words cant explain how I have really beifited, only my future can show how I have grown.

Through my interpersonal skills to beter mental health, I will grow everyday.

For me my biggest challange in serve was to recieve / give positive and construtive criticism.  In my life I recieved a lot of negitivity, so in turn did not want to put someone else down.  It was hard to recieve positive comments only because I didn’t hear much of it.  BUT now I have learned to give and recieve criticism, and I feel good knowing what you have done right and how you could change something you have done in the future.

Serve Canada, for me, was a unique learning and growing experience. It provided me with opportunities to grow as an individual, but also empowered me to share my skills with others, and really opened my eyes to what a community is, and the benefits of being involved with one's community. It has left me with unforgettable memories and friends.
