Life Skills Center of Hamilton County spotlighted graduates

Dennis Blieden

Dennis Blieden is excited to have been accepted at Ohio State University, and will begin his studies there in the Fall of 2007.

While completing his high school academic work at the Life Skills Center of Hamilton County, Dennis routinely put in extra time after his regular class session to tutor his fellow students.

All who know Dennis are proud of the way that he has turned his life around and “made good” on the mistakes he’s made.

Dennis is an exceptional student and has a strong commitment to helping those around him.

Crucial to the development of his commitment to service was his experiences at the Life Skills Center, as well as a recent visit to Holocaust sites in Europe.

Dennis delivered the student address at the Life Skills Center of Hamilton County’s June 2007 commencement.

Daniel Benedetti

Daniel Benedetti felt it was important to complete his high school education and earn his high school diploma, so he enrolled in the Life Skills Center of Hamilton County.

In less than two months, Danny was able to complete the academic credits he needed in order to finish.

After leaving the Life Skills Center, Danny answered his country’s call and enlisted in the U.S. Army.

Danny is now with the 101st Airborne, stationed at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, and is awaiting deployment to either Iraq or Afghanistan.

While he was not be able to be present for his Life Skills graduation, Danny was present in spirit and received special recognition for his service to our country.

Additionally, Danny’s proud father, Mike Benedetti, received Danny’s diploma.
