Since everyone gave their stories this week, I thought, why not, I have one too. Some of you may not know, but I also used to teach in the school system. After a few years of teaching (in a job market that didn't do any good for me), then directing a daycare, we finally decided to move to Grand Rapids - the only problem was - I didn't have a job. This was probably the first time since I was 16 years old that I was unemployed. It was very scary for me. I really didn't know what I wanted to do, I just knew that I needed to be working. Thankfully, my mom was talking with Michelle and Michelle mentioned that Horizons was looking for someone to manage the office. My mom passed the word on to me and I contacted Nicole. Well, obviously I'm here so I got the job.
A year a half later I'm now working full-time (my job started at 30 hours a week) and I have plenty to keep me busy. There are always new ideas and thoughts flowing around here. I believe this is what makes us the one degree that makes a difference.

Hopefully a lot of others will see how these programs can help them makes changes in their lives too.
So, check out the opportunities with:
