How #TideWaterCommunityCollege changed me
It's a long story. After going to four different high schools I still managed to graduate, which was a miracle in itself. Shortly after graduation I met my son's father. Him and I were together for 6 years and I was going to Penn Foster college online to become a certified pharmacy technician, but things did not happen that way. When my son was three he met someone else and I had no choice, but to go where my support was and move back in with my parents. I wanted to go back to school so my mom and dad supported me in that decision and helped with my son so much so I could be successful. As I was working on my associates a spot opened up in a new pharmacy technician program. It was a career studies so I would lose out on getting my associates, but it was a better choice and best timing because I needed a more stable job for me and my son. I finally finished the program in the beginning of 2014 did an internship took my boards for the state of VA and passed shortly after that I was hired at a pharmacy as a certified pharmacy technician in October of 2014. God works in ways I can't understand, but looking back on my life then to where I am now I will forever be grateful because he and Tide Water Community College changed my life in the best of ways!
