Tiffany was working at a minimum wage job in an agricultural processing plantwhen she decided she wanted something better in life. She was pregnant with herfirst child. “I just couldn’t see myself staying in that job with no benefits and long hours.The problem was I quit school when I was 16 so the job opportunities were prettylimited.” A friend told her about the Adult Learning Centre in Ste Anne. After she hadher child, a little boy named Wyatt, life changed. “I wanted to be a good example for my son so I decided to go back and finishmy education and graduate.” In the fall of 2012 she started classes. “Walking through that door and registering was really hard, but I knew if Iwanted to change my life I had to stick with it. School was never a place I felt Ibelonged.” Wyatt is going to be two in a few months. A short time after his birthday Tiffanywill be graduating from the Learning Centre with her Mature High School Di-ploma. “I want my son to be proud of me and finish school like his mom did. Mydream is to go on to college and become a nurse.” The Ste. Anne Learning Centre’s Executive Director, Fiorella LaVergne, says,“Tiffany is typical of most students who come to the Centre. Everyone has adifferent reason for coming back to school, whether it is to upgrade skills or justfinish their high school education. That’s what we are here for.” The Centre has seen almost a thousand students pass through its doors since itopened in 1999. Tiffany is just one the many graduates that will be donning acap and gown in June and finishing something they started a few years ago. “I’m very excited. Now I feel I have a future or at least a new start in life.”
