                   A year ago, I found myself homeless with my daughters. The whole
                   shelter experience, for the kids, I kept telling them that we were on
                   vacation waiting for the house to be ready. It’s the worst thing I ever
                   had to do.


                   I grew up in the housing projects in east Nashville, so nobody ever
                   talked about career paths... I didn’t know what to do or where to go.


                   When I learned that I could get a scholarship through Goodwill, it was
                   life-changing… A year ago, I wasn’t sure where my life was going... I feel
                   hopeful about the future now.

                   I’ve come this far. I plan to go to the stars.
