Blog / The First Five: Jessica
As one of the first students at Shepherds College, I learned how to get a job in the community and how to live independently. As a Horticulture graduate, I worked as a groundskeeper for many years. Now, I work at Dollar General, helping wherever I’m needed. I live in an apartment with a roommate.
I really enjoyed being one of the first students.
Our class was small, so we got to know the staff better. We could also go on fun trips with the staff, like to the Wisconsin Dells, because there weren’t a lot of us.
I play Bocce Ball in the Special Olympics. My team got first place at sectionals, and we went to State at the Wisconsin Dells!
I hope to visit the Creation Museum and The Ark Encounter in the future.
