Dear Teacher Essay

Hello Dr. Chris,                                        

My name is Bridge. I have had a lot of changes in my life that has developed me into the student I am today.   I attempted college about eleven years ago, but I was unsuccessful.   I had some challenges that caused me not to be victorious.   I was a young single mother, I had a tragedy in the family, and I enjoyed hanging out with friends a little to much at times. I have learned in psychology, it is proven that a stressed student doesn’t make a good student. I know my potential now and I am ready to become a better student. I like to think with a mischievous smile on my face, “I have matured!” I am ready for new challenges and ready to give this my all.   I do have extreme text anxiety, although I am optimistic that I will overcome the nervousness with time. I have my fingers and toes crossed!

Her father and I had a very unstable relationship,   but what is a stable relationship at that age!   We had called ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend since we were 14.   Cupid had struck me with his arrow and I was in deep puppy love.   I thought   he was the one that I would marry and live my happily ever after with. After I had Kayla we lived together for a 3 years.   Our fairy tale did not work out.   He wasn’t the prince charming that I thought he was and I am sure he thought I was more like Fierra on Shrek. Our decisions made me a single mother and he became a dead beat dad.   When I attempted college in the past , being a   single mother to my wonderful daughter, Kayla, was hard by myself.   She is now 14. I was   a teen mom that did not live under my parents roof.   I wanted to care for and support...
