“I can honestly say the most powerful moment I have shared with my friends at MICCentres was when I was on stage at my graduation ceremony and was handed yet another key to my future; I was given a scholarship. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would receive one. That day was a new lease on life; it was beating the stereotype associated with being a teen mother; it instilled a new kind of self-confidence that not a soul on this earth can take away. In the end I would not be on the road to a career that I am so passionate about without MICC, Shirley and her legacy the Shirley Schneider Support Centre at Balfour. I am currently enrolled at the University and my inspiration that gets me through every class and exam, is the hope that one day I can teach and change lives in the same way that mine has been changed.”
