When her husband stopped coming home at night and he started drinking heavily she became fearful for her future. Mary worried that she might need to support herself, so she started going to school to become a teacher. Her husband became extremely abusive both emotionally and physically. His abuse became so bad that she took her kids and left. She felt she had no other choice. She came to Colorado homeless Families in order to be safe and begin her new life. She was able to continue with college, and this past spring she received her BA. She starts student teaching this fall. In January she was hired on as a full-time teacher. Through all of this Mary has stayed positive. She has such a great attitude. She is a very responsible young woman who has worked very hard to reach her goals.
