Tevin Armstrong
My name is Tevin Armstrong and I'm 15 years old. I go to C.E. Jordan High School and I love working and helping people. I learned how to be a better leader and how to not get frustrated. YO:Durham has enhanced my life. We were taught interview skills, what to wear, etiquette and how to make a resume. What I learned from YO:Durham, I will take with me into my future career. I plan to go to college and would like to attend pharmacy school at UNC-Chapel Hill. My internship has been in the obstetrics and gynecology research office at Duke University Medical Center, with some time spent in the pharmacy lab at the VA Hospital shadowing a pharmacist. I will continue to work at Duke this summer, though not as a part of the YO:Durham program.

YO:Durham has made a major difference in my life. Last year I had a lot of discipline referrals. This year I have not had any. I am a rising senior at Hillside High School. I plan to take courses at Durham Tech so I can be a certified nurse assistant by the time I enroll at East Carolina University for a degree in nursing. My internship was at Blue Cross Blue shield of NC where I discovered that nurses are employed in many ways and places beyond working in a hospital. I have learned a lot, met new people, and experienced new things. At Blue Cross, I was exposed to a corporate work environment for the first time.
