 I'm in the laboratory science recognition program. My favorite class was biology. Even in seventh grade, when we got to do dissections, everybody's like, you, I'm like, I'm all up in there. I love to learn. I went through the GED program, decided to get my HSDD, and two weeks later, I started my first college class. You go through the program, and as you get towards the end, it's like, okay, this wasn't so bad. I just turned 40. I'm not too old for this. If you didn't finish school, have that accomplishment. Very nothing wrong with making a change in your life. I like to be outside. I'm an outside type of person. The program's called construction and remodeling. We did decks, we did footings. We built tiny houses out here. It gave me a chance to see how everything comes together from scratch. You know, I'm getting older. My kids getting older, and I just got tired of getting rejected. I wanted a career. I graduated on a Friday, and I snagged a job. I started working that Monday, that following Monday. And I just felt like there ain't nothing to it but to do it, you know. I wanted it bad enough, and I just got to go get it. Knowing now that I can get whatever job I put my eye on, you know, it feels great. Why settle for less? My family, I think they're all pretty proud of me and what I've accomplished. I'm currently in the administrative professionalism program. It's really cool, because I've learned everything about computers and HTML coding and graphic design. For me, it was like I'm getting my GED. There's no other option. I'm going to college. I'm getting my associate degree. The teachers there are just so caring and so motivating. They have financial advisors. They have so many scholarships you can apply for. I've actually been awarded four different scholarships. Truly, like, the people there are outstanding. I'm actually trying to set an example for anyone I know. Things are different now. I mean, there's more assistance with getting funding. Signing up is not that hard. Just put your mind to it and do it, you know. It's plenty of people out here that will help you and it's plenty of people that I know that's in my shoes. It just opens up so many opportunities for you and it really lets you flourish into your own person.
