Day 3 in janvier: 1am: I fall asleep the night before to the sound rain hitting the roof of my trailer. It is quiet and very peaceful. But I know that rains means one thing… all the dirt roads will be mud. I really don’t like wearing rubber boots.

JA would like to thank Tracey Scarlett and A.W.E for giving some of our Company Program students the opportunity to hear Brett Wilson speak.  A.W.E had Brett Wilson as a guest speaker at their conference and reserved 20 seats for JA Company Program students.  The students learned a number of valuable lessons from him and were very excited when they had the opportunity to take a picture...
