“The greatest challenge I faced in my life is when we had severe financial crisis when my father’s job could no longer sustain our family’s need. The only thing that kept me holding on is my dream, that one day when I achieve my dreams, I would be able to provide for my family.”
Abbie shares that on top of financial assistance, InvestEd’s free employability and financial literacy training to all of its borrowers is helping her succeed in her career at an early age.
“If school is where we learn the skills needed in our jobs, InvestEd is where we learn how to succeed at our jobs. On top of financial assistance, InvestEd has helped me prepare for the world outside college. One of the most important things I learned during InvestEd’s training program was the importance of proper planning. You need to have a strategy before you go out there so you can be ready. InvestEd gave us the tools to succeed so that we don’t go out there blindly.” — Abbie B.
