A new start, at the end of the year!
With impatience and fear, Iuliana started her first university year. Felt
the student role as a big responsibility, as a jump in her becoming.
Fundatia JOYO was her friend who supported forward to grow as
human and professional. In order to succeed, a young student needs
another approach to make the personal priority plan, to plan the time
and efforts. In this new situation was also Iuliana. Feeling overloaded
by the multiplicity and complexity of the requests of her new statute,
the student one. Shortly after the start of the university year, a
welcomed and unexpected help came from an old friend of the
foundation - Mr. Thomas Stauffer, who assumed voluntary the mentor
role for our young student. In the day centre runs a well-established
rigorous program, meetings which have the role to clarify and answer
to Iuliana’s questions regarding the field in which will profess but also
in general, helps her to understand and prepare for the responsible
adult life.
December offered Iuliana another opportunity: being employee, part
time, in the field in which will profess. Confidence in a young man
barely out of high school, without any experience, neither as employee
or in the professional field, was granted by the company that handles
bookkeeping of Fundatia JOYO. Iuliana is very satisfied and
conscious that few students have this opportunity to be employee with
full rights and to learn the abc profession at the same time.
Thus, the 2016 year represented a very important one for the evolution
of this young lady who grow up at the same time with Fundatia.
Iuliana consider it ,,HER extraordinary year” and she is not at all
wrong!
