College Boosts a Paralegal Career
Being open to college can lead down a road of happy consequences.
From GED to PhD
Justina Martin had dropped out of high school. She dreamed of being a teacher someday, and she knew she had to get back to school but wasn’t sure when or how.
One day she drove by the Woolley Center in Roseburg and saw a sign, “Earn your GED and get a free term of college at UCC!” She knew it was time to step back in and finish high school. Martin is now a teacher at the Woolley Center, helping other students step back in and earn their GEDs. She is also working on completing her Ph.D. in English, studying communication and online learning.
