To add a bit of info that I left out, maybe it wasn't important, maybe it was....these interns were from a local job corps and were working through their college classes. So, given that these 5 kids had been in trouble before, it did my heart good to see them do so well while working with us here at the plant.
Today I received word through a grapevine that one of these 5 have been kicked out of the program due to failing a random drug screen and causing trouble with other kids on campus. Man, that news hurt way down deep inside me. This person was very likable and one of the "best improved" while he was with us. I had really high hopes that his experience with us(personal interaction) would make a difference in the rest of his life(for the better).
Through that same grapevine, I did receive some really great news that the girl in the group is at the top of her class and is excelling in all aspects of her schooling. I had no doubt that with her hard work ethic that showed through while she was with us, that she would do well. The other 3 are doing well too, so I suppose if 4 out of 5 make it, that isn't too bad. I'll keep praying for the one lost sheep to find his way back. Still hurts my heart to see this one youngin' go down the wrong path.
