She persevered through generational challenges, economic disparities, and her self inflicted limitations. As an overweight child and teenager, she fell to the belief that she was not pretty enough or smart enough. She indulged herself in learning and reading. She not only graduated from high school childless but succeeded in the study of Industrial Engineering at the prominent Clemson University and later received a Master's Degree in Human Resources from the same university.
