Goldthwaite, Texas
WVT of Texas, Inc.
Scholarship Won: Kai Norris Memorial Scholarship - $3,000

The job my husband has through WVT of Texas, Inc. has been such a blessing from above.  I have been able to attend Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas a full time student for the past two years.  His job is a hard one that takes him away from me and our five children during the week. He is only home on weekends and sometime has to leave out early on a Saturday or a Sunday. I have had to be a mom and a dad to our children most of the time. Corry’s job allows me to stay home with our children and still attend school during the day. There is absolutely no way that I could pursue my dream of becoming an educator without my husband out there providing for our every need financially. Corry’s employer is very understanding about giving any amount of time needed off for our children’s school activities or when someone needs to be at the doctor. We cherish our time we do get to spend together as a couple and a family. Although our time together is limited we make the best of what we are given.
