As a single parent in 1994, I experienced my share of hardships. It was difficult being financially capable of providing the necessities for my daughter. I often shopped at the local thrift markets, to find adequate clothing to wear, and furniture for my living space. During that specific time, the resources that are available now were non-existent then. Partnering with nonprofit organizations that cater to disadvantaged and marginalized individuals is a supportive advantage.During my appointment, I encountered students who were experiencing extenuating circumstances and have dependents that they are responsible for.
