CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Buc Days Port of Corpus Christi Leadership Program is a group of 20 local students who attend sessions on developing personal and professional relationships, as well as public speaking skills. They even get the chance to take part in local service projects.
Olivia Rocha, a senior at Collegiate High School, says what she's learned in the program are life lessons.
"n this program we are all going to branch out, we're all going to different colleges and universities, but I really do think that we're going to take the skills we've learned in these sessions on with us for the rest of our lives."
Saturday night, the students graduated from their Dale Carnegie training. It's one more step on their paths to success.
The program began in December and will continue through May. Upon completion each student will receive a $3,500 scholarship.
