Because Kelly was less than one credit short of her high school diploma, graduating has given her not just a sense of achievement but also a sense of finally completing what she started. Kelly says the Learning Center has given her the support she needed to accomplish her goal & has reignited in her a love of learning. Her driving inspiration has been her daughter, Kaylan, because Kelly loves watching Kaylan learn & wants to be a good role model for her little girl. Kelly is now working fulltime & will start college in the fall. Her plan is to study social work so that she can be a positive influence in other people’s lives. Her best advice for other clients pursuing this challenging goal is to take one step at a time & remain optimistic.
