Badgett:
One of the many things I loved about Polly Fox is everyone
was truly there to help. They went above and beyond to help
me and other girls. They helped me get my daughter into an
amazing daycare, and even took me to apply for my own
apartment. The staff was really good about making sure
everything was up to date so I would definitely be able to
graduate.
Ward:
What are your best memories and experiences when you were
attending Polly Fox Academy?
Badgett:
One of my favorite memories at Polly Fox is when we went to
Put-In Bay. It was my first time going and it was so much
fun. The best thing about the trip was the boat ride and the
underground caves. My other favorite memory of course is
graduation. I worked really hard to walk across that stage.
I had the honor of giving a speech on my journey to get to
that stage. Though I cried through most of it, you couldn't
wipe that smile off my face. I would relive that day
everyday if I could just to see the look on my kids face at
the end of the ceremony.
Ward:
Since graduating in 2014 what have you accomplished that you
are most proud of?
Badgett:
Since graduating I went to and graduated from Paul Mitchell
the School Toledo. I then went on to take and pass my
managers and cosmetologist exams. That was the crowning
moment of everything that I worked for. I came back here
with a clear goal in mind and since graduation I have
accomplished everything. Not only with school, but in my
personal life as well. I grew so much as a mother and a
woman. I am really looking forward to the years to come. I'm
happy that it all started with help from the staff at Polly
Fox.
