Kara’s motivation is to be better. “I have realized what I have to do to set myself apart from the hardships of the women in my family,” she says. Kara graduated high school as a teen mother, worked two jobs and raised a family. Now Kara manages a cleaning crew and loves guiding her crew to the best of their abilities. With the Paying it Forward Scholarship, Kara will earn her degree in Psychology. She enjoys helping people and providing support, as well as listening. She also wants to set a good example for her three children. “I believe one of the best actions I can do is to set a good example, reinforce how education is of utmost importance. Reaching for dreams and accomplishing goals is possible, and hard work pays off.” Kara plans to continue her education with a doctorate.
