“I love learning.” ~Heather Wilmot

According to Heather Wilmot of Millbrook, returning to learning has enhanced her life like she never dreamed possible. With a more educational foundation under her belt, and even more confidence than before, she is ready to conquer even everyday life! For example: Where her family’s health is concerned, Heather has come to coordinate the proper dosage of medication, as well as how to decipher medical terms and manuals. Becoming a better reader has given her the opportunity to read the newspaper to her sight impaired father in law and read along with her grandchildren. Heather has since enrolled in a computer program with IT for women and can now easily navigate through the technology when once she was literally afraid to turn a computer on! She has started her own business as a successful courier and is expanding into a sewing business in the near future. Heather believes that living life to the fullest means seeking every opportunity to better yourself, your family and your community. She actually is the living definition of “The Joy of Learning”. Heather has made so many close friendships since she joined CALA and while in the classroom she was also an inspiration for other students who saw her positive attitude and her drive to accomplish what she set her mind to do.
