WITH SUPPORT FROM HER CASE MANAGER AT ILP, CHAUNTEL ENROLLED AT NORTHERN VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND RECEIVED AN HERB BLOCK SCHOLARSHIP TO PURSUE AN ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE IN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE TO ENGLISH INTERPRETATION. HER PASSION FOR ASL WAS SPARKED WHILE WORKING AT A GROCERY STORE, WHERE SHE SAW A DEAF COUPLE BEING IGNORED AND REALIZED THE NEED FOR MORE INTERPRETERS. DESPITE PUTTING HER EDUCATION ON HOLD TO SAVE MONEY, CHAUNTEL NOW WORKS FULL-TIME AND HAS MOVED INTO HER OWN APARTMENT WITH RAPID REHOUSING SUPPORT. SHE PLANS TO RE-ENROLL IN COLLEGE SOON, DEMONSTRATING HOW ILP PROVIDED THE STABILITY AND RESOURCES SHE NEEDED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF HER FUTURE.
