The Odds Cassie Salter found herself pregnant at fourteen. It was time to turn things around. Before her 19th birthday, she was included on the Business and Office Technology President s List at Flint River Technical College. That is only the beginning. This eternally optimistic young woman can pack more into her mornings than most people can do all day.
Cassie makes it look easy, does it all with a smile that is contagious.
Cassie came to the Adult Literacy program at Flint River Technical College in the summer of 1999. While preparing for her GED, she managed to assist her teacher, Jerry Gay, with daily record keeping and attendance. She assisted a paraplegic student by acting as his scribe. With Cassie s help, this student was able to successfully complete Level I of the Adult Literacy Program. In her speech, she urged these students to stay in school and not to do things the hard way as she had.
