“Education is a step toward achieving your goals and dreams, and yet it is often a scary step. If I can take one part of that scary step and make it easier, then I have been successful. There is nothing more heartwarming than to talk to a student who is excited about going back to school, working toward a goal and achieving a dream. It is awesome to be a small part of that journey.”
