SLR: Please Ms. Curry, Tell us about your early life and education?
EDC: I grew up in the South, the Deep South. Diana Green, my great grandmother, Elizabeth Cook, my grandmother and first mentor, were my very first teachers, there after I continued my formal education at CACC Community College, University of Alabama, Birmingham, and later at the University of Maryland, University College. The lessons that I use daily in life did not come from my college education. They all come from my interaction with the PEOPLE God sent to guide and educate me. My angels come from all walks of life and bring about a myriad of curriculums for Ella Curry. My education continues daily as I meet people who share information or history I didn’t possess. My grandparents instilled me values and standards that no degree could ever out shine. With the simple basics in understanding “the golden rule”, I have grown so much more than a few letters behind my name. Common sense, a feeling of purpose and genuine compassion for your brothers and sisters can bring so much more success in life.
Hello Laura and family!
It is such an honor to be featured on this fabulous blog. Laura you are doing a fantastic job sharing news and inspiration.
I grew up in the deep South, in a time when life was truly carefree for children. My greatest worry as a kid was whether or not the plums would grow each summer. Seriously, there was no stress or fear in my life. I wish all children could have the opportunity to be just that children! It is a pleasure to thank my parents and grandparents for giving me a safe place to dream, roam and become the Ella you all see today. My college education taught me the things society needed for me to know, however my childhood education gave me values, morals and a sense of purpose that no book could ever convey.
