The best lesson I've learned is that I can have success. It has opened up a whole new life and respect for myself and what I can accomplish. I'm looking forward to a brighter future.
The support I've received from FSET and W-2 has been priceless. I couldn't have gotten this far without the collective support of these people.
An amazing help I discovered as the networking I encountered. There are job leads that no one else can give you and commendations... that can open any door.
Stay strong, find courage, and try. There's so much ahead of you. You, your children, and your future are worth it. Take the first step.
My cup is no longer half empty. It is half full and sometimes even runneth over!
