My Résumé
Pregnant in college
I moved back to Winnipeg when I was 21 and enrolled in the Winnipeg Adult Education Centre. I had to start back in grade 9, because I had dropped out in grade 12. It took me two years to graduate. Then I went to the Administrative Assistants Program* at Red River and finished in one year.
I was pregnant and Blaze was born in May. I couldn't find a day-care centre that would take newborns, so I stayed home, figuring I'd go back the next year. Unfortunately, the college dropped the program so I started working minimum wage jobs, which is all I could get with my limited education.
