The United States needs more great teachers and one more is now on the way. A Paying It Forward scholarship is inspiring Lisa Bracey to rekindle her education that she chose to place on hold while she focused on her growing family’s needs. Drawing inspiration from her career ambition to become an accredited teacher, Lisa enjoys initiating fun learning activities with her three children. Currently a stay-at-home mom, she will take her child-raising experiences into the University of Phoenix classroom as a springboard to rounding out her set of communication and teaching skills. She is appreciative of her husband’s support in nominating her for this scholarship. Lisa is excited that her teaching degree, in a respected profession marketable in any community that they are relocated to by the military, will offer the family improved financial flexibility as her husband and nominator serves our country.
