 So college really was something that I always wanted to do, but really was not in the cards for me. I grew up in an abusive and drug and alcohol addicted household. Moving into my 20s, they weren't much better. Fast forward, I found myself a single mother with my children looking back at me, seemingly to say, go mom, go, do something. And at that point I made a promise to them that not only was I going to go to school, I was going to graduate before my oldest graduated high school because it was not cool to be in college with mom. I walked into a registration event and I'm not exaggerating when I say I walked up to the table and I said, I want to go to school and I don't know what to do. And the woman at the table literally got up and came alongside me and walked me from station to station to station and seemingly came alongside and helped carry that load. I think there's a lot of things that you're not sure about and it's scary and I recognize that. But when you go and you get their common theme from all of the technical colleges is the helpfulness and the accessibility and really the financial access that it affords to everybody. For a mom who never thought that any of these experiences would ever be possible, no words that I can express how much all of this means to me. To my daughters, Ariana, Morgan and Emma for always encouraging me and saying, go mom, go. I'm going to keep going not only for myself but also for you. Thank you.
