I met Robbie in the Fall of 2013. We were attending an English class at  The University of South Carolina Lancaster Campus. We hit it off immediately since we were the oldest kids in the class.

 I was auditing the class for fun and to hone my writing skills. On the other hand, Robbie was working on a Business Degree.  I discovered that she had been holding down a job for six years at minimum wage.




Personally, I know how difficult it is to work, earn a degree, and take care of the myriad challenges of everyday life. I was impressed by Robbie’s determination to become a business woman.


Soon after meeting, I discovered that Robbie was facing an extremely difficult decision. Due to the stress of holding down a job and attending the University full time, Robbie had to choose one or the other. If she chose the job, she would continue to struggle to make ends meet. Dropping out of USCL would mean that she would be unable to pay back her loan. Thus, she would never be able to reach her goal of becoming a business woman.

Robbie is a talented seamstress. She used her sewing skills at times to help bring in some extra money.  Robbie would very much like to build up her sewing business to earn additional funds to help her continue her education.

I have always believed that our country would flourish if education was an integral and critical component of life.

Please afford Robbie the opportunity to earn her degree.

LIVE SIMPLY.

SPEAK SOFTLY.

LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY.
