With the demands of family life that occurred to me after high school, I delayed thinking seriously about furthering my education. I had done fairly well in high school but that was nearly ten years ago. I knew the job market would not provide many good opportunities for employment without achieving some sort of skills. Additionally, I found myself asking where would I begin?

That’s when I got involved with MEOC. This organization really helped me with the process of applying for college, including all the steps to admissions and financial aid and the paperwork needed. The step by step process made it so easy. Even more so my advisor, Christy, inspired me with the resolve that I could successfully work towards a degree. I am happy to report I have earned an associate degree in Accounting through Central Maine Community College in Auburn in 2006.

Currently, I am working towards a Bachelors degree in Business Management and Accounting at the University of Southern Maine in Portland. Attaining a college degree will enable me to face the future more optimistically for myself and my children.
