Earlier this month, we announced that Web Team member Jordanny had received his high school diploma, and now it’s OFFICIAL! Jordanny has encountered a number of obstacles within his diploma journey, but he was able to overcome them all.
“The main challenge I faced while getting my diploma was just getting over my anxiety to take the test.”
Luckily, Jordanny pushed past his anxiety and fears and completed all of the requirements to achieve this special accomplishment. He credits Hopeworks for helping him grow as a professional and learn valuable skills for his future career.
“Hopeworks has helped teach me about the professional side of things. They've taught me a lot of skills that I can use later in my career such as UI design and G.I.S training.
Hopeworks also has helped me achieve my goal of finally getting my diploma and moving on to college.”
Jordanny, you have a bright future ahead of you and we cannot wait to see you continue to shine your light!
