after i graduated from high school, i spent a whole year looking for a job and every time i found one, i was turned down because i have a brain injury and they didn't think i was right for the job. however, in 2011, i was able to get a job at the phoenix society in torrensville. for three years i have worked there now and not once have i wanted to quit. working at phoenix, i have been able to learn new skills i otherwise would never have been given the chance to do so and have made friends there, who allowed me to understand things about myself i never even realized. if our factory is shutdown, i will not only lose my job, but i would lose my connection to my friends and the drive that helps me to enjoy the days after work in ways i didn't before. before i started working at phoenix, i always was worried I'd never get a job, but they gave me one and it has helped me in my life more than i can say. please, do not let our factory close and allow us to keep our jobs.
