Hello my name is Renee Watson and I'm a former student of SOME ( So Others Might Eat ) and I'm overwhelmed to see other former students of SOME_x000D_ _x000D_ doing very well. As much as I am on the AOC's website I have never seen this page. I recall Mr. Tony Blue returning to SOME to speak to the students_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ that was about to graduate and he spoke very highly of the AOC and how much he enjoys what he does there as a woodcrafter. I am also glad to see_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Mrs. Davis the first mason female in position and enjoying what she does there at the AOC as well which has impressed me to continue to apply for_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ open positions also so that I can also become a great asset to the AOC it's my DREAM JOB . After SOME took the students to the Russell Building on_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ on a tour in 2015 that's when I was sold on becoming a employee at the AOC. I want to say to all the former students of SOME keep the good work_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ up and continue to make Mrs. Emily Price , Ms. Nelson , Mr. Murry , Mr. Thomas and the rest of the staff proud. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
