Resilient by Nature, Driven by Purpose
I came back to school because I wanted more than just a job. I wanted a future that challenged me, that meant something. Greenville Tech has been that turning point. Instructors like Dr. Carnell, Rick Conte, and Mark Hapstack have pushed me to grow, not just academically, but as a person. Their belief in me has made all the difference.

Balancing a 40-hour workweek with college has tested me in every way. There were moments when I didn’t know how I’d keep going, especially when finances were tight and bills had to come first. But I stayed the course. I’ve learned how to manage my time, focus on what matters, and keep moving forward.

Now, I’m thriving in my MET program and plan to pursue a certificate in Electrical Controls Technology to expand my career options.
I haven’t even crossed the graduation stage yet, and already my life is changing. That’s the power of education.

To the donors who make this journey possible: your support is more than a gift-it’s a lifeline. Thank you for believing in students like me. Because of you, I’m not just earning a degree-I’m building a future.

Thank you for your generosity. I’m deeply grateful, and I promise to make the most of the opportunity you’ve given me.”
