How has education changed your life/your family?
Education has been a priority in my life as I have done my best to open doors of opportunity for others. My mother sacrificed so I could have what she did not have, growing up in poverty. My husband and children have advanced degrees, and their children value education and work hard to continuously better their lives through learning. I am reminded, “Change one life and you change many.”
