Story

by Kimberly Marshall

My name is Kimberly Marshall. I am originally from a beautiful small town of Sheet Harbour in Nova Scotia.

I relocated to Truro so that I could come back to school. It's been three years since I've been away from a classroom setting.

After my son Charles was born three years ago, I realized how important it was to do something with my life.

My goal at present is to become a sheriff in a small town.

My hope is to give my son the life he deserves and to inspire his goals as he gets older. I think education will be a good incentive to accomplish this.
