Success Stories
Monica D. – As you cherish the fruits of your hard work, we
wish that success keeps following you in everything that you do.
You have showed us determination, perseverance, humility and
resiliency. Congratulations on graduating! Wishing that brighter
opportunities come your way and you achieve success in all of them!
We are so proud of you!
In January of 2020 Jennifer created a vision board while attending
a Family Wellness event reviewing “Goal Setting and New Year’s
Resolutions. With help of her two boys, she explained to the
crowd her desire of obtaining full-time employment and losing
100 pounds through diet and exercise. Before the year ended the
determined single mother achieved both goals. Jennifer celebrates
her one-year anniversary as a contractor with the United States
Post Office this month and has lost 100 pounds. Jennifer, you’re
journey is very inspiring, we look forward to seeing continued
success for you and your family in 2021!
