what lead to me getting my education together my son who has inspired me to challenge myself in school. My last two terms I ultimately around March of 2019 i had neck surgery and for 7-months I was place in stabilizer neck. I wanted to return Last Spring, but the COVID-19 hit, and I lost my job. I wanted to go back in the Summer, so in May I started talking with my Advisor got everything in order to come in the Summer. My student loan went into default in August. I received my unemployment from March 2020 through September 2020. All my pay went to catch up on bills. In October of this year. I was able to pay my loans off and resume my education at PCC. I’m currently enroll to complete my studies in “Computer Information Systems.” I feel that my only challenges is being able to pay for other amenities, such as basic housing for 3-6 month. Being a minority with little to no education other than a “GED” who have maintained a GPA 2.0; plus I will be looking into enrolling in the Paralegal program in the Spring. I never recieve a “Grant” before. This would be something. To have somebody help me just because they can.

Thank you for this, I wouldn’t be on a better path to a more successful future if it wasn’t for the grants I have received from the career pathways foundation.

I am not a highly recognized person, but I can still say, thanks.

Thank you Naito-Campbell and all the other donors. I hope the students use the gift well. I hope it will help build up Portland back to the place we remember and love. Although I find funds in my own way, it was a breath of nice news in a hectic time. I respect the leadership in showing hope, and am gladdened that students will get some help.

well wishes
