When the meeting was over they closed it with the serenity prayer. I did not leave right away because I was still talking to some of the women. Mt thoughts on what the women got out of the meeting is a sense a hope. That they are not alone dealing with loved ones that have an addiction. I think it helped most of
The truth is, I knew that I was going to use an old paper, but procrastinated on revision. The morning of peer critique, I woke up in labor and knew that I was not going to make it to class. I had an old copy of the narrative and asked my sister to deliver it to Amber. It made it, but I was not able to ever make any revisions, so
Besides my father, who passed away when I was young, if I complete my degree I would be the only one in my family to have a college degree. Therefore, I know that if I complete my degree that would bring great pride to my family. I initially did not want to accumulate a large amount of student loans because I did not want to be in debt. I was determined to get my degree though, so part of the reason I joined the Air Force was to pay for my education. The Air Force has helped tremendously in
Lewis made me realize that the home is never going to help me so I have to solve the problem by myself. So I started writing letters to possible foster parents near Tyndale high. In the letter it said how desperate I am to have a foster parent so that it wouldn’t affect my living status and the chance of getting into Harvard. It stated everything the foster parent would love to know about me. My friends even helped me look for a foster parent that’s how supportive they were.
As a kid I grew up with the poor, I didn’t know the meaning of having my own car by the time I’ll be eighteen, or thinking of the path I’ll be choosing for my career back then, but those were just dreams that didn’t matter, I was just living day by day with the moments of my life. SEVEN years ago, I was in a class, most likely worrying about another school day, the only kid with a different culture, different personality and different
I also wanted to grow up to do something to help people. I went through some stages that I was influenced by my friends to do stuff that I should not have but I learned who I really wanted to be around. The people who supported who I was I kept around. When I decided there was not enough challenge to high school I got into the running start program and went to college so I could get ahead of everyone else. After I graduated, I did not know where I wanted my life to head so I did not go to school and just worked and had fun.
Taking Mat090 has been a major accomplishment in my life. I graduated high school in 1989 and never pursued a college education. I was offered scholarships to out of state schools, but did not accept because I had a child a little too early in life. Instead of attending college I needed to provide for my family by working a full time job. While I have had a pretty successful career thus far I know that not having a degree has held me back from reaching my full potential.
Stability is one of the reasons why I chose to return to school because I would someday be able to help my father the way he helped me and my family for myself as well. When I first started Ashford University online degree program, I thought that it would be difficult and kind of strange that I waited so many years to decide to go back to school. However, then I realized there really was no reasons to feel
Being the first person in my family to get a college degree makes me feel so good. Setting example for children and letting them see that mommy can do it is priceless. The things that we do in life as far as school wise are thing we can take us to the next level is just a lot of us lose hope we are not sure where to go. I though getting a high school diploma was fine for me. I felt school was not for me because I have dyslexic and, I feel people just don’t want to help me.
Returning to School A year ago I never would have imagined that I would be back in school. It was something I had wanted to do, but I had continued putting it off. It was never the right time, or I could not figure out how to manage everything, or even how I was going to pay for it. Lately, I have been going through a lot of personal changes that has made me also want to better my place in life. Deciding to continue my education, I felt, was the best way to do this.
