I wasn’t able to do a lot of things that I wanted to do because of my grades. At one point I was actually ineligible to play sports, what are everything to me. My parents influenced me to do better in school by allowing me to get my license the day my grades went above a 3.0. It took me awhile but by the end of the semester I had a 3.1 and was able to get my driver’s license. My grades at an all-time low were around a D average, I was able to go from that to a B average in one semester.
Stories were often told to me about his playing days and shortly after someone would pop the big question; “Do you play ball”, or “Are you going to play ball”? Those questions made not want to play because I felt I needed to be my own person. Finally when I reached to high school I decided to play football. Little did I know this decision would change my life for ever. When I first arrived on the football team there were no expectations.
Dear, Heidi. W. Durrow I am just one, one of your readers of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky. I too used to feel one of a kind/unique person living in this world. It was 1996 when my family left the country of mine, for the better future for me/siblings and the future kid that will make me a proud older brother. 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.
As I’ve stated previously on this blog, the three-semester deal wasn’t my first time at college. I had previously gone to college when I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to be there. In high school I was a straight-A honors student, President of the math club, and captain of the Academic Decathlon team. That momentum carried me forward, and without really ever deciding if it was what I wanted, I found myself with four more years of school ahead of me. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but my heart just wasn’t in it.
Becoming a Paralegal Getting a college degree has always been a goal of mine since I graduated from high school way back in 1978. But, I had my three sons early in life and now they are all successful husbands and fathers. I feel this is the opportune time for me to pursue my dream of achieving a college degree. I was undecided at first on a profession, but since I already have a medical administrative background for over 10 + years, but the small town that I am from has very limited prospects, so I decided on the Paralegal profession. The skills that I have acquired before can be integrated into my new legal career.

In high school many of my friends were applying for colleges and knew I wanted to attend college as well, but I was not sure how to attain this dream. Through the help of counselors and mentors I learned that a higher education is an attainable dream. I was able to attend UCSC where I earned my bachelor’s degree in sociology and John F. Kennedy where I earned a master’s
It was 2008 when I began high school at Mission High School in San Francisco, California. My mom and I moved to San Francisco a year prior so we could be closer to my uncle, who was undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer. The school year started out like any ordinary school year for a newcomer. I was the new kid who didn’t really know anyone. I wouldn’t say that it was depressing; it just took some time for me to get properly integrated into the student body.
As a single parent, I had to put my educational goals on the back burner to raising my family. I excelled in High School, which helped facilitate securing a position with a firm in which financially allowed me to keep a roof over our heads, clothes on our back and food on the table. While furthering my education was always in the back of my mind, I knew at that point and time in my life, it just wasn’t in the cards. Fast forward 25 years: my children are all grown up and with the exception of my 16 year old, they’re all self supporting and out on their own. I now have the opportunity to fulfill my mother’s desire for me to continue my education and reach that goal I made over 30 years ago.
