Amy's childhood was not an easy one. She was often ridiculed by her classmates for being different and struggled to keep up with her academics. Into adulthood, her challenges only grew. She searched for a job where she would be accepted but continued to fail, often being told she was too slow. In 2007, Amy was referred to Goodwill by Delaware Division of Vocational Rehabilitation where she completed the work adjustment training program two weeks ahead of schedule. Since graduating, Amy has become a valued member of the Goodwill family and found her home at the Kirkwood Highway store where she is a production associate. Her co-workers appreciate her glowing smile and hard work at one of Goodwill's busiest stores and, she often receives compliments from shoppers about her pleasant personality and outstanding customer service skills. The Senator William V. Roth Jr. Achievement Award recognizes a Goodwill employee who has overcome physical or developmental obstacles to learn the skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. Amy's success and positive attitude demonstrate Goodwill's mission and the "Power of Work".
