I’m currently enrolled at the Toledo CDL school, and I’ll be honest—I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I’m in recovery. I’m part of a reentry program. I’ve got a record, a past, and a lifetime of being told I wasn’t good enough. Losing my father during this journey almost took me out completely. But my branch manager kat didn’t let me fall. She’s been more than just admin—she’s been a lifeline. She talks to me like I matter, like I’m more than my past, and she backs it up with real support. Counseling, motivation, belief— And on the days I wanted to give up...She reminded me that I’ve already come too far to quit now. I’m not finished with the program yet, but for the first time in my life, I actually believe I can do it! Not because it’s easy—but because someone saw something in me I forgot was there. If you’re thinking about this school and you’ve got a rough past—don’t count yourself out. Come to Toledo. Meet Katherine. She’ll help you see the future you stopped believing in.
