“But I remembered why I started: to prove to myself that I could finish. To show my children, grandchildren, and others who have doubts that perseverance has no expiration date.

It’s not just a piece of paper— it’s a reminder that growth never stops, that learning never ends, and that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.” – Printess, Literacy KC Graduate
