Major in Business Administration, Missouri Valley College
Hometown: Marshall

I am a student working towards my bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Missouri Valley College.  I will be completing my degree in the next two years.  I was eligible for the Access Missouri program this school year and it has been a tremendous help.  As a mother and a wife who does not work but goes to school full-time this program has helped me continue my education.  This program has helped me to succeed in my college career without the financial concern of whether or not I could finish my degree.  I believe that if Access Missouri is reduced for students attending Missouri's independent colleges it will hurt many students like me.  It could cause people to reconsider pursuing higher education.  So to my fellow students, please continue to fight to allow this program to continue for all those who need the help to complete their education.  To our state legislators, please keep Access Missouri working for me and thousands of students like me.
