ETS Participant Terrie Daniel wanted to share the following about her time working with ETS & PC2 Courtney Clayton:
“I have a heartfelt appreciation for the Choctaw Nation’s services and the impact they have had on my life. For several years, I struggled with depression that at times felt overwhelming, compounded by the grief of losing a special friend and living in an environment where I did not feel safe. During those difficult times, it would have been easy to lose hope.
However, the Choctaw Nation has truly been a blessing in my life. I am deeply thankful for the individuals who supported me, encouraged me, and helped me rebuild my confidence. Because of their guidance and compassion, I have found the strength to keep going and to continue striving for a better future.
Through the JFTD and 477 programs, I have also been given the opportunity to give back to the Choctaw Nation. These experiences have allowed me to grow personally and professionally while living out the core values that the Choctaw Nation holds dear. I am proud to be part of a community that uplifts its people and creates opportunities for healing, growth, and success.”
Yakoke, Terrie, for sharing a part of your story with us! 477 Employment Training Services is so proud of all you accomplished while working with us, and we look forward to seeing your continued success.
