Here at Work Ability our mission is too help individuals with disabilities to become more independent and learn basic skills.  Also to learn how to get a job,How to keep one and what to expect when working at a job. Plus how they should behave or act when working at one. That way they can succeed in one later on in their future. We teach them many things like how to dress appropriately for work or an interview. How to use good hygiene before going to work. How to act in the work force and how to handle difficult situations. To not give up, work hard, and follow through with what they're doing.  To teach them what a resume is and teach them new skills that they can learn  to add to that resume and so on. The purpose is to help individuals with disabilities  find a job and keep it by teaching them how to succeed in the work force.   

​My favorite internship was JCC. I liked  Allison and sorting the Yarn.  I also liked helping Sandy put clothes away at Second Fiddle.

  This week I went to my internship. my favorite internship this week was second fiddle . we got to work  independently because She was in a broad meeting  .  i worked very hard while i was there .  I have been  struggling to help my mates I am still trying to learned how to do that without being so bossy . I really like being a peer mentor.

I am a role model for the class . peer mentor something I like so for is helping the student with their quiz every Friday. 

Being a peer mentor helped me learn how to take thing more seriously.
I learned how to take action when something happens.

Hello my name is Luquentas and I am a peer mentor for the yellow and red class. My job is to help 
students by helping them write things, take take them for a walk if they need one, 
I keep an eye on the garbage, I help the teachers by taking charge of the sign out sheets,
and I participate during class talks. Week 1 and 2 was good. 
I got to know every student, it was not hard for me because I have a positive attitude.I  also have to talk to the teacher to know what I should be doing.
