Today, Karli celebrates the triumph of hope, hard work, and determination. Not so long ago, she faced challenges that she thought would keep her down forever. She left high school after 9th grade, feeling lost and without the support of anyone. She struggled with addiction, and the path ahead looked hopeless. Yet in all the darkness, she found light in her faith and the love for her baby girl. She had finally found the strength to say, “I will do better.”
After completing rehab and embracing motherhood, Karli chose to return to the classroom, not as a student defined by her past, but as a woman determined to build a future. Between early-morning work shifts and late-night study sessions, she refused to let fear stand in her way.
Kali thanks everyone who believed in her and kept pushing and encouraging her to the end.
Karli also says: “I thank God for redeeming my life and giving me purpose. I pray my life can be a light to others, to God be the glory forever and ever Amen!”
