Jenny Virnig
I am a single mom of a beautiful 9-month-old baby boy. I have recently lived on my own, but with the economy the way it is, I have been laid off from work and forced to move home with my parents.
In my search for a job, with only a HS Diploma, I quickly found it difficult to get hired and need to further my education in order to continue providing for my son. He's so wonderful and deserves the best the world can offer. Being a single parent, it's up to me to give it to him. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go back to school, and even if I could, I could not afford daycare as well. My only option is an online course I can do at home.
I have the motivation and only need the opportunity to do great things. I would love the chance to prove to everyone that I'm a survivor and I can make it on my own. My parents are old-fashioned and believe I need a man to provide for me. I need to show them that I will not fail as a mother and as a single woman in our society.
I am strong-minded and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in life. Please consider me for the scholarship program at your school, it will not be wasted.
