Georgia was close to graduating high
school but she didn’t have a plan; didn’t know what was in store for her
future. She was told she would never
survive college, or get a real job. Until a career mentor at the Career
Institute came into her high school and said “let me help”. 3 years later, she
has accomplished and successfully achieved more then she would have thought she
could. This past spring, she has
successfully graduated Chaffey College with honors and her AS in Universal
studies and social behaviors with an emphasis in Child Development and
Education. Throughout these past 3 years she has been a full time student,
worked 3 jobs, bought and paid off her own car, been accepted into the honors
program and the honor society through her school, and is now successfully
transferring to Cal State San Bernardino; to dual major in human development
and psychology. She hopes with this degree, she can get accepted into graduate
school to become a guidance counselor. Georgia has set her career path to help
the young adults in her community. Help them find their way after high school,
find a career path, and see the potential in themselves to have a successful
future; just like the career institute did for her.
“The career institute provided me
with knowledge and confidence that I can be successful; and I will be
successful.”-Georgia Burckel
