Story

by Robyn Ritchot

Hi! My name is Robyn Ritchot and I am a mother of 4 daughters that are all in school. The reason that I went back to school was to better educate myself, so that I can get a better paying job, because without the proper education you can't get a good job. Everywhere you go they say, sorry we can't hire you because you don't have your grade 12. That is why I am back in school now.
