Tabitha Spithaler found the tools she needed at Life Skills Center of Trumbull County to build her career.
"I have the ability to work at my own pace here," she said. "I feel the teachers care more here and work with me."
Spithaler, 18, a Weathersfield Township resident, has attended the school for a little over a year after leaving the Trumbull County Career and Technical Center over an attendance dispute.
She also works with the school's YouthBuild program and is eyeing a construction career after she graduates.
"She's great," said her teacher Scott Davis. "She's married and has worked at two jobs. She also recently raised over $100 over the past two months by selling candy through the school's Operation First Response program to helping the military. She's also one of the people who helps interview YouthBuild applicants. She's managed to get a lot done in a short time."
"He'll help me figure it out without telling me the answer," Spithaler said of Davis.
"She has a willingness to learn in the classroom," Davis said. "She doesn't want the answer, she wants to learn on her own and really learn, not just going through the emotions."
