The Northeast Ministry is a perfect get away place.  My parents took advantage of their programs for children in the Marvine-Pembroke area

At the age of six, I began my adventure at the Ministry in the summer program.  As I grew older and continued in the summer program but also joined the after school.  I had an excellent staff helping me reach some of the goals that I set for myself.

Growing up in the projects is not an easy thing.  I watched my two brothers and sister drop out of high school. At times I felt discouraged and wanted to drop out myself, but the staff was behind me all the way.  They believed and encouraged me to be the first in my family to graduate high school but also attend college.

With their support and faith in me, I graduated high school and enrolled at Kutztown Universtity.  The Ministry  awarded me  the Sally Young Memorial Scholarship.  The award helped me with books and tution.

On December 19, 2009, I graduated from Kutztown University with a degree in sociology.  Currently I'm employed with  the Salisbury Behavioral Health. 

I would like to thank everyone at the Northeast Ministry that helped me obtain my dreams!!!!!!
