I no what they provide but are the people nice . I mean what was your experience ? thank you very much.

• Answer:

  Contact a counselor at Joliet Junior College who can help you with all of your questions except how to visit your husband and daughter. He or she will give you information about tests to see what basic classes fit you best. If you take Friday night or Saturday classes you won't be able to visit, but why not consider moving in with them and taking classes in their area. I just clicked on Job Corps Joliet, and think that the information I just gave you is probably wrong. This program won't cost you, and will give you housing, but you need to dedicate yourself to it totally, and not be skipping school things to visit two hours away. Call your family as often as you can.
