Part three! My next encounter with Praxis Housing was with a Mr. Charles Lewis Vocational Director of the Workforce Development Program.

Mr. Lewis asked me various questions about my work history, goals, strengths, likes and dislikes.  He also wanted to know about my future plans and goals, such as where I saw myself in the next six months.  And where did I want to be next year at this time.

Once again, Praxis true concern and dedication for people really came to the fore front.  Mr. Lewis and I formed a positive and enlightening relationship, that today I am very proud of and extremely thankful for. I remember him telling me that this was the fastest he had ever seen anyone fill out an application which made me feel very good.

Initially, I was supposed to work at the Praxis Cafe but due to me needing a hip replacement my Doctor would not give me clearance to stand on my feet for that long. So Mr. Lewis and I started to brain storm and collectively came up with a great idea. What we came up with was me becoming a Peer Educator and that decision became a perfect fit and has put me on track to truly find my purpose in life.

Now at this time, I also had the great pleasure of meeting the site director of the Riverside Hotel, Ms. Mary Dawson. Wow what a lady!!!

Stay Up For Part Four !
