Look at God!

LaQuita first stopped by The Learning Center after an appointment at Kid’s Connection, just down the sidewalk. It was Fall 2018 and she was interested in attending classes and getting her GED. She got started with us in the Spring of 2019. One of my (Ryann’s) favorite things about LaQuita was her response anytime something great happened. The first thing she always said was, “Look at God!” She was always so impressed (and maybe a little surprised) by what God was able to do in, and through, her. Through his work in her and the hard work she put in, LaQuita was able to finish her GED in the Spring of 2019. She is now working to officially obtain her Cosmetology license so she can either work in a beauty shop and work normal hours, allowing her to be home in the evening with her kids, or to maybe travel and do hair one day. She said she would like for her kids to know there’s more to the world than just Birmingham, AL. Earning her GED will allow her to show that to her kids in a way that wasn’t possible before. Congrats, LaQuita! We’re so proud of you and thankful for the reminder to “look at God!”
