ATDM was an opportunity to not only learn valuable skills that provide a viable career path, but also to be able to contribute to something much greater than myself. The last four months here in Danville have been some of the most memorable times of my adult life. I’ve learned so much in a short time. I started out with classmates, who have since grown into my brothers and lifelong friends.
