 In 2008 I had been working as an office assistant for eight years and I had lost my job. For three and a half years I was a stay-at-home mom and I stayed home with them and and brought them to school and took care of them and do everything that a stay-at-home mom does. But we didn't have any money. We didn't have any money and I didn't have a way to provide for them. So a man came back into my life 24 years later after we had met in middle school and he had enrolled at Gateway and the more we talked about it he mentored me and I chose to go back to school for my children to give them a better future. So I enrolled in the office assistant and the administrative professional program. I will graduate in May with my technical diploma. I will graduate in August with my administrative professional associate's degree and I just added the business management program mom because I am not ready to leave Gateway. And just to close up real quick my four daughters that are here tonight and my son who's not here I hope one day you will realize that everything that I'm doing right now and all the sacrifices that I'm making are for you. Thank you.
