FACES OF PENN FOSTER
Corril of Nevis

“My name is Corril, and I am a graduate of the Pharmacy Technician Program. I currently live in the Caribbean on a beautiful island called Nevis. I was introduced to this programme through a family relative. I did make an inquiry after I graduated from the Cyril Potter College of Education in the year 2004. I taught for four years. Today, by the grace of God and the help of Penn Foster, I have done well. I used to earn $220 USD, and now I earn $700 USD a month. I am grateful to God and Penn Foster.”
