Success Story - Jean Bruck

SUCCESS STORY

DATE: __11/24/08__ SITE: _Shirley Futch Plaza_______BY: _Sharlotte Giberson_______

RESIDENT / PARTICIPANT NAME: ___Jean Bruck _______

Reason(s) participant came to the Computer Training Center (what was his/her goal?)When the computer room reopened back in February of 2007, Jean had just purchased a new computer. She immediately ran into trouble with the computer so she decided to come to the computer room for help.


Accomplishment(s) of the participant:Jean has not only mastered email, MS Word, card-making software, and the Internet, she has become very involved with digital photography. Photography has always been an interest for Jean but when she bought her digital camera and saw all she could do with her pictures on the computer, photography has become a passion.


Obstacles he/she had to overcome:Jean often has difficulties remembering new things. She had to work very hard to retain all that she knows about the computer, the Internet and her camera. Together we overcame her disadvantage by simply repeating the same steps/tasks over & over until she was able to retain the steps involved.



What difference has participation in the Computer Training Center made for him/her?Jean is now able to work on her own without being overwhelmed. She has so much more confidence in herself and her abilities. She always says the Computer Room is responsible for her love and success with photography.

Jean should be very proud of her accomplishments as she has come a long way from the person I met almost 2 years ago!
