Summer Youth at WSPT
Posted by Mai Lam on Tue, Aug 16, 2011 @ 09:35 AM
It's the time of the year again when school's out and teens are looking for jobs. As a contributor to the SYEP(Summer Youth Employment Program) and the Bronx youth community, WSPT hired two hardworking teens from the Bronx, Isaiah Hollins(16) and Melvin Olivo(18) and provided them with "real world" job experiences.
With WSPT being his first job, Isaiah Hollins plans to become a physical therapist or a graphic designer two polar opposite professions, when he grows up. When asked to sum up his experience here at WSPT, Isaiah said, "I enjoy interacting with different patients, learning about their conditions and helping them overcome their physical condition." Fingers cross that he chooses to become a physical therapist as his profession.
As a graduate from Bronx School of Law Government and Justice, Melvin Olivo plans to become a computer technician whenever he grows up. Melvin had this to say when asked about his experience here at WSPT:
"I enjoy having the opportunity to work with the physical therapist in assisting treatment to their patients. I also enjoy working with such a great, supportive and welcoming staff."
