When Angelica Smith and
her husband faced difficult economic struggles, she felt it was time to go back
to school not just for her career but for her children.
“Everything compounded on
us,” she said. “It was difficult to pay the bills. I had to tell my kids no to
everything.”
In 2011, Smith enrolled
in the Alvin Community College GED program and would go on to earn her diploma.
On Saturday, the Alvin mother graduated from ACC with an Associate Degree and
is now embarking on a profession.
