Alicia Dixon
Alicia Dixon left high school before graduation, not feeling that she was a “fit” for the high school scene.
She distanced herself from learning and said, “I thought I knew everything and did not need school to succeed. My boyfriend, now husband, encouraged me to realize that an education would mean more opportunities. I earned my GED, enrolled at PCC, ready for the challenge. My fear of failure and humiliation began to fade in the first semester. The instructors and other students really made learning fun. Instead of a fear of school, I now have a fever for school. I am going to graduate and own my own pet business.”
