Ms. Erwin is a 19 year old mother, student and employee. This has not always been the case for her. She is the model of success now, but has come from very trying times and circumstances. Her new journey started on January 31, 2011.
Ms. Erwin enrolled in Oconee County Adult Education’s Parenting program. She knew that she wanted to finish her education so she could better her life and the life of her daughter.
On March 7, 2011, Ms. Erwin enrolled in the PYC program with two main goals in mind. She had already increased her basic skills in math, so now she was able to focus on getting her GED. Her first goal was to pass her GED and her second goal was to enroll in Tri County Tech.
Ms. Erwin has continued to attend Tri County Tech as a full time student working towards her Associate degree in Health Sciences. In addition to going to school she is also taking part in work study through the college. With studying, classes and work she still has found time to be an excellent mother and role model for her daughter.
Ms. Erwin has worked hard and is very determined to get her degree. She anticipates completing her associate’s degree by the summer of 2014.
“Without the needed support from everyone at Oconee Adult Education and Palmetto Youth Connections I could not have gotten my GED. I would not be in College right now, which is creating a better and brighter life and future for me and my daughter” - Ms. Erwin
The Tri-County Community Job Fair will be held on Thursday, March 22, 2012 at The Conference Center and Inn at Clemson University from 10am-2pm.
