I wanted to make a better life for myself, and one day i was watching tv and saw a commercial for job corps, i thought it looked good so i checked it online, it seemed like it would help me, i went to the orientation with the admissions counselor, she told me about the zero tolerance for violence drugs and alcohol, i sounded like it was the right choice for me, i took the 5 hour trip to white swan washington, when i got there i was made physically sick from the health services, they made me take a pill and when i tried to explain what was going on to them they told me i was faking it and to keep taking the pilll, the longer i did the more sick it made me, after two weeks i just threw away the medication, the staff there ganged up apon me, telling me my constitutional rights didnt apply there, there was consent fights in which staff broke up but never did anything about it, i had ran into people who had drugs on them and was even doing them on the center, the students would gang up on me as well as other students, the staff would never do anything about it, my dorm staff was even trying to force a hygiene contract on me when i didnt need one, i finally got into trade which was culinary arts and i was feeling sick and didnt think it was right to be messing with food so i didnt get anyone else sick, i told the instructor at that time what was going on and she replied you have to serve the food, the only way you can not serve the food was if health services, i went to health services and they told me we cant see you and threw pepdobismal at me and said go back to trade, in the 8 months i was there i didnt get the proper nutrition i needed, there was times i didnt even get to eat because of the schedule they had me on, or they just didnt feel like serving a meal, i had gotton so stressed that i was and still am sick from it, i was constantly in the mental health office and i was told, your just overwhelemd not depressed, (i was in there because i thought i was getting depressed) but i was told he wasnt going to put me on anti depressants, but they did anyway. I had replied i didnt want to be there anymore in which i had gotton zero help, my mother had even called the center director because of the problems i was having, he told her he would talk to me and get back to her which he never did. I went there to make a better life for myself, not to live in a nightmare
