It's a seed from a Washington Red Deli- cious. You love and have eaten bush- els of them. You've even picked them. You know a tree-ripened apple from one picked early and sprayed to ripen. You make your own apple pies. You know just about everything there is to know about apples…except one thing. I ask you to look at that apple seed and tell me how many apples are in it. You can't. And of course you can't. You don't know what the future holds. It's reasonable to assume that seed contains bushels and bushels of apples in it, but it may hold none. You don't know enough to say. Just as you can't look at that apple seed and tell me how many apples are in it, you don't know enough about the future to worry. You can't look at a life situation and tell what it contains. Sure, you can worry about a lot of possible outcomes, and yet you can't with certainty say what will happen. When you start to worry today, remember: you choose whether to imagine positive or negative outcomes. Imag- ine the best possible outcomes so you make a life worth living and Live Positive. Do you know enough to worry? 2003 CHEVY IMPALA Gold, V-6, Auto, Remote Entry, PW, PDL & More! $ 750 750 * DOWN DOWN $ 80 80 * WEEK WEEK 2011 KIA SPORTAGE LX Grey, Auto., PW, PDL, CD Changer. $ 950 950 * DOWN DOWN $ 80 80 * WEEK WEEK 2008 KIA SORENTO LX Silver, V-6, Auto., Nice Vehicle! $ 850 850 * DOWN DOWN $ 80 80 * WEEK WEEK 2008 CADILLAC SRX Silver, Low Miles, Auto., Leather, All The Buttons. $ 1250 1250 * DOWN DOWN $ 100 100 * WEEK WEEK Hours: M-F 8-5:30 Sat. 8-5 "Buy Here Pay Here!" * Plus Tax, Tag & Title (O.A.C.)

Graham Street • Shelby, NC NO UPFRONT ATTORNEY NO UPFRONT ATTORNEY FEES FOR FILING CHAPTER 13 FEES FOR FILING CHAPTER 13 On Jan. 14, Governor Roy Cooper announced that the Finish Line Grants program has issued more than 3,000 grants and $2 million since the program was announced in July 2018. The Finish Line Grants program helps students stay on track to complete their de- gree or credential when they face unexpected financial emergencies that might other- wise cause them to drop out. Gov. Cooper made the an- nouncement at Central Pied- mont Community College (CPCC) in Charlotte, joined by CPCC President Dr. Kandi Deitemeyer, CharlotteWorks President and CEO Danielle Frazier, and several Finish Line Grants recipients. Finish Line Grants are grants of up to $1,000 awarded to community col- lege students who are on the cusp of completing their education or training and are faced with an unanticipated financial hardship that may prevent them from doing so. Finish Line grants award over $2M to community college students "As students at our com- munity colleges work hard to get skills that will help them find a job, an unfore- seen challenge like a car re- pair shouldn't compromise their futures," said Governor Cooper. "I'm proud that the Finish Line Grants program has provided more than 3,000 grants to help students find good-paying jobs to support themselves and their families for years to come." As of the end of 2019, more than 3,300 Finish Line Grants have been awarded to students at a total of $2.2 mil- lion. The fifth semester of the program began this month. Governor Cooper an- nounced the Finish Line Grants program in July 2018 after hearing from community college leaders that relatively small financial emergencies were causing students to drop out of their degree or creden- tial program when they oth- erwise could have graduated. Grants were first made avail- able in September of 2018 for the 2018-2019 school year. "It's hard to overstate the importance of an educated and well-trained workforce," said North Carolina Com- merce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland. "The Finish Line Grants program is one more tangible way North Carolina supports and develops its fu- ture workers, and companies notice and appreciate this commitment." All of North Carolina's 58 community colleges and 23 workforce development boards are participating in the program. Community colleges and workforce de- velopment boards collabo- rate to apply for funding and establish a joint process for reviewing funding requests from students who have com- pleted 50 percent of their degree or credential. Com- munity college students may receive a maximum of $1,000 per semester by contacting their community colleges' financial aid office or their local NCWorks Career Cen- ter to apply. "I am always amazed at how a relatively small amount of money can change someone's life forever and do so much good for our families and our communities," added Governor Cooper. Eligible expenses for Fin- ish Line Grants include car repair payments, medical bills, utility bills, and child care expenses. To ensure ac- countability, the grants are commonly paid directly to the car repair shop, doctor's office, utility or child care provider. "A temporary financial emergency shouldn't stop a student's momentum toward graduation and a brighter fu- ture," said Peter Hans, presi- dent of the NC Community College System. "Finish Line Grants are helping our stu- dents overcome barriers to success. We are so grateful for the support." Governor Cooper will also join Alamance Community College President Dr. Algie Gatewood, Regional Partner- ship Workforce Development Board Director Tammy Wall, and Finish Line Grant recipi- ents at Alamance Community College to spread awareness about the Finish Line Grants program and this funding milestone.
