"I am so excited, I finally get to use when I went to get a degree for. I haven't worked for several months so this was a huge reprieve for me and very exciting. I never would have thought to apply for a job like this, I can't tell you how meaningful this is for me– making more than (minimum wage), to break out of that that cage. It's Liberating. I previously worked at grocery stores, you've helped me break out of that bracket.“ – Samantha
