Scholarship helps make college possible for Shawano resident
Stephanie Williams of Shawano was working in what she calls “ more or less , a dead-end job ” when she decided it was time for a change – for herself and her kids . The single mom of two wanted to be happy in her career and to support her family without help .
“ I always wanted to be a paralegal ,” Williams said . “ So , I thought to myself , ‘ I am going to do it and show my kids that I can , and that it is never too late to go back to school .’”
Williams enrolled in NWTC ’ s Legal Studies / Paralegal associate degree program . Like many NWTC students , she juggled college , work , and family .
Graduating with an associate degree in May 2022 , Williams is relishing her paralegal role at Heritage Law Firm LLC , Shawano . She works with estate planning attorneys . She schedules appointments , drafts wills and deeds , and works on probates . Every day is filled with a variety of responsibilities , and Williams wouldn ’ t have it any other way .
