[Cob] community college classes

[Yun Que]

   Cat here,

    check around for local groups that do volunteer work around the
   community.  Some churches do this. My sister joined Hud.  It's hands
   on work building and remodeling, sheetrock, ect.  You may be able to
   learn allot more by doing this than sitting in a classroom.  It also
   will give you a great idea what you like to do and what you don't!
   With these groups you get allot of different things and you can choose
   your time to be there.
   for the good of all C.
