 I was like, oh, you got so much money out between paycheck to paycheck, and I knew it wasn't enough. I knew that education was the key to opportunity success, and North Central Technical College was the only thing that they really offered at me, considering my situation, my family. So I went back to school as I needed one, so I was really grateful to NTC and all the opportunities they'd given me. It's been a life-changing experience, one of the best decisions I made in my entire life. I know that no matter what my age or my status is, it's just the beginning of something beautiful. And NTC is that big bridge that I needed to get to where I want to go.
