 Being a mother and a grandmother and starting my educational journey in my late thirties, it was something that I could do to, you know, give my children something to be proud of when they look at their mom. I am a recovering alcoholic dynatic. September 3rd will be eight years clean and sober. I've had some pretty rough struggles in my past and made some pretty poor choices. I'm a convicted felon for drunk driving. Not too long ago, I was sitting in Tachita and really trying to contemplate on what I was going to do when I was released. It's just amazing the way Nicolay College was able to really embrace me for who I am and not my age or who I was. I believe that it's important for people who struggle with making positive choices in their lives and thinking that they're not good enough and that they're not okay to know that they are good enough and they are okay in expanding your knowledge and starting your education for that matter because in the end you are who matters to you, not anybody else. My name is Kimberly Solter. I am the state ambassador for Nicolay College.
