Student Spotlight: Justin

Hello, my name is Justin, and I was born and raised in Fort Wayne. I come from a large family. In total, I have eight siblings.
My name is Meshia, and I am 21 years old. I am from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have one brother and four sisters, and I also have a daughter.
I came to The Literacy Alliance to change the lifestyle I have for my daughter and me, to be more successful, and to prove to myself that I can finally accomplish something in life. My past experiences in schools just weren’t great. I have a sick mother, so I felt like I just couldn’t do it. I just wasn’t going to make it in life.
My experience with The Literacy Alliance has been a positive one. Having teachers see your growth and showing you different things about yourself is a good motivation to keep you going.
No matter how much I wanted to give up, I continued to fight for my education because, in the end, my story starts with me making a change for myself. You can do it too!
