That is great, glad you are heading back. You will do awesome. The closest school to me, is the Gadsden, Alabama one, so I am assuming they would send me there. Still weighing my options, though.
I look forward to reading about your experiences.
Good luck, stay safe, and kick arse!
Just got a call from my recruiter and low and behold Denver is out as they have closed that location.. its off to Indy for this girl!

Stay positive, keep your head up, and take advantage of every opportunity to learn. You will do great!
I am by no means doubting my ability or anything I was simply informing incase others did not know that Denver is not an option any longer.

I am heading back to Celadon for a second chance. I am trying to find anyone who has attended the Denver school. I am not looking for the negative aspects just what it's like, how big are classes? Any difference from Indy? I left before because I had the wrong attitude about all of this.. I chose to go home on my own.. I have since grown and decided to tough it out for however long it takes. I am now going to utilize my tools here to spend down time studying and learning as much as possible. No distractions! Already have my permit so will work on relearning pre trip
Please let me know if you have attended this location..
