Overview
I am a hardworking single mother with lots of goals and ambitions. I currently am in the process of applying for college. It is important for me to have my son see me working and in school to set a good example for him.
My goals are to get my four year degree, work, and save up to move into my own house. I want to start putting down a foundation for a better life for my son.
I need a laptop so that I can apply for college and use for my college courses. It is really hard to be successful in school without a computer. This need is really important, as I need a computer in order to type papers, study, etc.
Meeting this need will help me because having a college degree will help me pursue my career in the Department of Education. With a college degree, I will have more opportunities for employment and to achieve my dreams.
