Spurred by a desire to show his children the value of a college education, Antione came to Greenville Technical College as a non-traditional student – he served in the military and worked for many years before returning to college.  “I really didn’t know there were people out there supporting what [AAMSI] is trying to do.  People who don’t even know me, are behind it. And I’m living proof that it helps, said Marshall.  “This degree is going to happen.  And it would not be possible without the support of donors.”

“With AAMSI, you have someone there to guide you along. It makes a difference because you’re not in it alone. You have someone to lean on. When you try to do everything on your own, it’s kind of rough.”
