"Education has always been important to me, but having children young forced me to set it aside. With my children now in school, I'm motivated to return and pursue my education to help them and advance in my career. However, I face challenges like ADHD, which complicates learning and focus. Support from teachers and peers has been crucial in overcoming obstacles as a full-time mom and worker.Ultimately, my hard work led to completing my G.E.D. through the Adult Learning Program at the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre, where I developed new skills and gained confidence. This achievement opened doors for further education and career opportunities, including a nursing program. I am proud of my journey, as it demonstrates to my children that with dedication, it's possible to succeed at any age. Congratulations Alicia! Best wishes for the future and great success in your endeavours."
