A Mother's Graduation Journey: Bonnie Johnson began a degree in business administration in 1983. She found life has a way of changing plans, though when she had two children who were born pre-mature. Two marriages failed and Johnson found herself getting by as a single mother of two children, each with special needs. Her son was born with Cererbral Palsy and her daughter had kidney issues. She wanted to complete her degree, but had other priorities. Johnson says, "There never seemed to be enough money to go back to school when their medical needs took precedence."
Making matters more complicated, Johnson was diagnosed with breast cancer, but fought and beat the disease. In 2011, things leveled off enough for her to enter a program at Kennesaw State University. Shooting for her Business Administration degree again, Johnson began classes, but found cancer was back again. Somehow, she took that in stride. “I beat that, so I continued to take my classes."
Beforfe entering her final year at KSU, Johnson found out about a non-profit organization called Emerge Scholarships. it was an intense process, but she applied for and earned a scholarship to help her through her last year.
Stacy Sollenberger with Emerge Scholarships was one of the people who reviewed her application. She found Johnson met their criteria. The scholarship is for women who have begun a higher education, but have had to put it on hold due to hardship. The women applying have to have a plan and must show they are willing to give back to their community. Sollenberger read Johnson's story and found among all hardships, she still gives back to the community through volunteer hours with Junior Achievement and Habitat for Humanity. She found Johnson also supports community affairs at her job in at a Marietta company called Assurant. Sollenberger says, "We want to have a ripple effect. We want to support women who are going to make a difference in their community."
Johnson is grateful and graduates May 10 at 10 AM at the Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University. Johnson says, "I love my job now, but I would really like to find a role to where I can use my degree to give back to my community in some way and also maybe become a big part of Emerge going forward and help other women like myself.
