Speaker: Michael Moton, Bies Family Scholarship Recipient
Please introduce yourself and share how the Bies Family Automotive Maintenance SkillPointe Scholarship will help you pursue your goals.
Michael Moton: Hello, my name is Michael Moton and I'm currently enrolled at Macomb Community College located in Warren Michigan, in the General Motors ASEP program. I was recently awarded the Bies Family Automotive Maintenance scholarship. This scholarship was basically a lifesaver for me. I enrolled in classes at the age of 39 and I planned to go back to school for some months...but a lot of things happened outside of my plans. And long story short, through a series of unfortunate events, I found myself basically having to decide if I was going to have to take a semester away from school and regroup and get my funds together because I had a previous balance. But I was awarded this scholarship and that scholarship literally allowed me to continue. I'm thankful for it and I want to let you guys know that I really, really appreciate it. And you just don't know how far of a reach what you guys do has on people. Thanks to you, like I said, I'm able to continue on with school. I don't have to take a break. I'm able to finish and enroll in the upcoming semester and still slated to finish on my scheduled completion date of February of 25. Again, I just can't express to you how grateful I am and how thankful I am to you. So again, I just want to say, "Thank you" and let you guys know just how much you helped me out of my situation and I'm sure for countless others. So again, from the bottom of my heart, "Thank you guys."
