Tongue Point Student Wins Essay Contest

Tongue Point Job Corps Center was pleased to participate in the 14th annual JACS essay contest. Sabrina-Marie Wilson was the 2nd place winner for the Northwest Region Job Corps Centers, and the 1st place winner for Tongue Point. There are 12 Job Corps centers in the region, which includes Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Over 200 students participated in the contest.

Other winners on the Tongue Point campus include Patrice Harris who won 2nd place at Tongue Point, and Tanisha Surls, who won the 3rd place award for Tongue Point. The essay contest is designed by Joint Action in Community Service, a volunteer organization designed to assist Job Corps students as they get settled after graduation. The contest is meant to develop student writing skills, and to honor each Centers’ top writers. This year’s subject was, "How Job Corps Changed My Life."

Sabrina-Marie Wilson just graduated from Tongue Point after receiving her GED and completing the Receptionist vocation. In her essay, she describes the change from her previous lifestyle, where she "was never forced into saying [she] had a problem, so [her] problem grew to an addiction." She writes, "I was a drug addict, my car was broken, my job couldn’t support me if I wanted it to, my friends weren’t really my friends, and my mother had no congratulations or certificates to hang on her newly painted wall. I needed to become my mother’s daughter." Her essay describes her struggles to achieve in Job Corps, and how Job Corps, "gave [her] that feeling of family that [she] had been probing for."

Wilson’s essay will be submitted for competition nationally.
