I honestly don't know where to start when it comes to Wheatland. This place is for those who need & want a second chance. I've tried multiple times to get a degree, and I never was really able to get the hang of it. Everyone around me discouraged me because I just had given birth to my first child. But when I went to Wheatland, they provided me ways to not only handle being a full-time mother, but also a full-time student. They set up a daycare program for me; they found a non-profit to help me with transportation to and from school. I mean anything I needed, they were there. Wheatland, to me, is more than just a school- it's my home. I can say that I am a proud graduate of this school.

Anvan mwen te deside vini nan lekòl sa , mwen te doute anpil, paske mwen te twonpe deja nan yon lekòl ki trè popile nan zòn Orlando a. Mwen te inkyè poum pat gaspiye tanm anko. Men, mwen te pran yon chans avek Wheatland Enstiti , e mwen pat regrèt. Pwofesè yo kompetan et experimente . Administrasyon lekòl la travay nan enterè tout elèv . Lavi mwen vin klere gras a Wheatland Enstiti.
