Amber Corley
I can make a career for myself and take the right road in life."
Even at her young age, Amber Corley knows all too well many of life's hardships. The challenges of a divided family, an absentee parent, and helping to raise younger siblings, have posed great hurdles for Amber. The many hurdles that she faced could easily have become a reason not to succeed instead of a challenge to overcome. She had already learned that not having an education meant a lack of independence and a lack of choices in life. She wanted to find a positive direction and be a good role model for her younger brother and sister. With that in mind, Amber enrolled in the Cosmetology Program at James Sprunt Community College and will receive her Associates Degree in Cosmetology in 2010.
Amber knows that an education is the foundation for building a stable life; for being an independent, self-sufficient, and productive member of society. "Thanks to JSCC, I'm able to move on instead of giving up, says Amber. " I can make a career for myself and take the right road in life." JSCC offered the opportunity for that education and the financial means to get it. Her motivation and perseverance have become a steady compass in what could have been an uncertain pathway.
