I just finished my paid internship at The Hive, and got a new part-time job for Willard High School. For my new job, I had to get fingerprints for a background check. So my stepfather brought me here this Wednesday, and I managed to get my fingerprints in a timely manner. The day after that, I was officially hired! I was really satisfied with this visit.

I love coming here. The ladies are always warm and friendly. I was here last Monday to ask about something and got out of the place having what I needed. Nurse Jenna and the lady at the front, April, went beyond what I expected. Both ladies were friendly and non-intimidating. I have future appointments here and I look forward to seeing them again.
