"My experience with Delta, as a whole, has been very inspiring. I remember my very first day walking to class – I hadn’t been in school in nine years – and I was really nervous going into a construction class. And, I’ve been welcomed with open arms. I’ve had so many people offer me help and keep me motivated."
