Success Stories
THEY went back to school …. so can YOU!
“I want to thank you all again for the support and financial help that you provide. It is making it possible for me to complete my dream. My daughters both graduated from college; I saved and worked hard so they could, and they both worked during the time they attended college. Now I am improving myself and gaining knowledge that will only make my job performance better and therefore the children will benefit.”
- Habersham County SCHOLARSHIPS recipient & Dean’s List student

TAMARA CALLAWAY
“It is truly an honor to be selected as a nominee for the Georgia Occupational Award Leadership Competition.
For a number of years I’ve been a paraprofessional with the Baldwin County Preschool and Head Start Program. There was no advancement in my job unless I received a degree. I never considered college; honestly, I didn’t have the self confidence. How could I work full time, take care of my family and attend college?
“I was pleased to find out that the local technical college offered flexible scheduling of classes that would allow me to meet my job and family responsibilities. I enrolled and have been taking a course or two each quarter for the past two years.
“Vincent Van Gogh said, “If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” I never thought I could make it in college. Now, I know – I can. That voice saying “you can’t” is silent. Technical college was the right choice for me.”
