Cora Leigh O’Neal loves school and wants to be successful. Through part-time jobs at Wetseal and Genuine Purl, she decided she wanted to own her own business, a yarn shop, because of her love for working with customers. She earned an associate of science degree and plans to transfer to UTC to study entrepreneurship. She says of her experience at Chattanooga State, “The Middle College program was the best experience. Earning high school and college credit in a community college environment is a great experience.” Her parents Crystal Walker and Jesse O’Neal are very proud of her accomplishments.
