I chose to enroll in the Oregon State Ecampus
program because I wanted to study anthropology
and there wasn't a program near me.
I am really passionate about helping people.
I currently work in a non-profit and I like
that setting.
I like feeling like I'm making a difference
and I want to keep doing that.
In nonprofit work, most all of it is grant
funded.
The writing skills that I learned in the anthropology
program really prepared me to write really
well
and that makes a big difference in grants
and whether or not they get funded
and whether or not nonprofits can continue
with their programming.
It's really important to me that I finished
my degree.
I dropped out of high school before I finished
9th grade because I became a parent when I
was 15,
so now that I have seen this through,
I feel like I'm setting a really good example
for my children.
I am really excited for the future and
I'm excited to see what my life brings me.
