Irelda is from Texas. Derrick came from North Carolina via Florida. Lezlie bounced around so often as a child she says it’s hard for her to say where she’s from. Ny’Imah was born and raised right here in Saginaw. While their life experiences have varied greatly, they all share one important commonality - they all dropped out of school when they were teens.
“I got tired of working seasonal jobs, tired of getting laid off,” Irelda recalls. “In 2019, I was searching for new jobs and finally said, ‘This is enough.’ I know I’m capable to succeed, plus I wanted to show an example to my kids.” - Irelda
“Even though I was a hard worker, I found myself always limited in advancement because of my education level,” remembers Derrick, who between tours with his band worked at fast food places and bars. “When my daughter decided to go back for her GED, she said, ‘If you do it, I’ll get mine with you.’ So, we did!” - Derrick
“Going back to school really boosted my self-esteem,” she says. “The program worked for me this time because it was my choice. The teachers supported me a lot; they’re really awesome" - Lezlie
“You have to put the hours in to get to where you want to go,” says Ny’Imah. “But Miss Mary and everyone at Bay-Arenac were always there to help!” - Ny’lmah
