Onyx Spring-Summer 2018

outlook on life has changed. The confidence and leadership experience Moats has gained in and out of the classroom will serve her well after graduation. Ultimately, her goal is to pursue a career in the marketing field after she graduates in 2019. “I continue to be surprised by how much I have changed as a person since going to SMWC. I was told college changes you, but I wasn’t expecting to change so much and in such a positive way. In addition to feeling more confident and getting more involved, I started working out and got healthier. I owe The Woods for inspiring such an unexpected transformation.” Right: SMWC Board of Trustee and BoxUp Co-Owner Jennifer Perry, SMWC student Kayla Moats and BoxUp Co-Owner Jeff Perry
