Ms. Moore also participated in the summer work program through PYC that allowed her to develop work skills and professional communication techniques.\u00a0 She also completed a work experience through PYC at the Pickens Adult Ed Learning Center.\u00a0 Soon after she completed her work experience she received an interview and a job as a CNA!<\/p>\n<p>After starting her job, Ms. Moore set her goals a little higher and enrolled in Tri-County Technical College\u2019s nursing program.\u00a0 Since then, she has been on the Dean\u2019s List, President\u2019s List, National Honor Society, Phi Theta Kappa, and is scheduled to graduate in May 2014 with honors.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Moore stated that her hopes are that she has been able to prove that not everyone has to be a tally mark on a chart somewhere just because they hit a bump in the road.<\/p>\n<p>Stormie has recently obtained full time employment with Heartland Healthcare in Greenville and is currently serving on the WorkLink Youth Council as a PYC former youth participant.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Ms. Moore for her accomplishments thus far and we wish her the best of luck in the future!<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Stormie on the Tri-County Technical College website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tctc.edu\/About_TCTC\/Media\/News_Releases\/Stormie_Moore_Reflects_on_Journey_from_High_School_Dropout_to_Honor_Grad.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.tctc.edu\/About_TCTC\/Media\/News_Releases\/Stormie_Moore_Reflects_on_Journey_from_High_School_Dropout_to_Honor_Grad.xml<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were pleased to have Ms. Moore attend the October 30 Board meeting to share her story with the Board Members about how Palmetto Youth Connections (PYC) helped her.
