About me: My name is Kerri L Jeter and I reside in Columbia, SC. I am a full time student with a full time job. I am single with no children. My goal is to finish my BA and go on to finish my masters degree. I have a 3.5 GPA right now. My income is just enough to pay my bills. Any help would be appreciated for my education.
