No RegretsThese days Sheila Greene is a busy travel agent at West Penn Triple AAA Motor Club. She puts together cruise and tour packages for people from all over the world, spending a lot of time on the computer researching the best deals for her clients. She loves her job. But it wasn't always this way. In fact, five years ago Greene couldn't read very well. "I could read, but I had difficulty," she says. "But like most people with reading problems, I just worked around it." After scoring too low on a test to enter a travel agent training program, Greene realized that things had to change. "I couldn't ignore that I scored so low. I knew that if wanted to become a travel agent, and have a chance at making good money, that I was going to have to take courses to improve my reading level." And that's just what she did. Greene attended an intensive six-month adult reading course at Bidwell Training Center in Pittsburgh. The class opened up a new world for her. "I was given material that I could really relate to-a lot of African American stories that were very dramatic, stories about gang members, and mothers dealing with difficult children. It got my brain working." Although it wasn't easy to go back to school as an adult, Greene never lost sight of her goals. With hard work and dedication she passed her course with flying colors. In 1999, she received a Student of the Year award from the state of Pennsylvania. For Greene, winning the award was proof that she could accomplish anything if she just set her mind to it. "I didn't want life to catch me with yesterday's regrets," she says, "so I kept pushing."
