Pamela Fleming
Career Goal: Administrative assistant with advanced opportunities
My biggest goal to overcome during my education was being a single parent. My child was 10 when I started college and at that age he is able to take care of many of his needs on his own, however he still needed educational tutoring which required a great deal of time. We both have worked very hard to achieve our educational goals.

It was definitely an adjustment getting started and applying for financial aid; all the paperwork was overwhelming. Once I got settled, I began to get organized and ready for work and I attended many success workshops. Each semester got a little easier. As graduation came near I found it harder to concentrate because I was excited about achieving my goals!

I have accepted a position as a Deputy Clerk for Contra Costa County's Superior Courts, and I am looking forward to starting my new career!
