My mother always told me that I needed to go to college and get a good education and they supported me though everything. I am very hardworking and I have my mind set to what I want, and so far I have achieved everything I wanted.

My Fortis education has really helped me make it through life. Before that I didn’t have job because the factory I worked for left, so I didn’t know what I was going to do so I went into x-ray and I’ve not ever had a problem finding a job, there are plenty of jobs out there.
