When Sharon, a mother of two from Jamaica, dropped out of school at age 15, she thought her dreams were over. For years, she worked odd jobs, barely making ends meet. But deep inside, she knew education was the key she was missing. With courage, she enrolled in the Jamaica Foundation for Lifelong Learning’s program for adults, starting at the basics.

Step by step, Sharon built her confidence. She sat the high school equivalency exams, and passed. Today, she is employed full-time in administration and even runs a small business on the side. Her children look at her with pride, knowing their mother showed them it’s never too late to rise.

Guyana’s oil economy is booming, but without skills and education, opportunities slip past. Sharon’s story from Jamaica is a reminder to every Guyanese youth and parent: no matter your past, you can step back into education and rewrite your future.
