Going back to school was not easy for me because of my busy schedule working two jobs, taking care of my family at home, making time to study, and do homework. But I told myself that I could do it. I was determined not to let anything keep me back.

To the 1199 Training Fund, thank you for the encouragement you all have given me. Special thanks to my teacher, Ms. Laurie Tishler. You are awesome! I appreciate the time and patience that you have given me. May God bless you.

My name is Yonette Jessamy. I would encourage anyone who wants to go back to school, go for it. You can do it too. It is never too late. Education is the key to success!
