Capitan Mark Kelly Ever since I was a young girl I have always had great dreams and high expectations for myself. Anytime I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would quickly reply” a lawyer” As the years went by I still had that goal in mind, but I began to realize that I was not exactly Ivy League material. Though I did work really hard in my classes, I was still at best average. During my junior year I took my SAT’s, and cried when I got my scores back. For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material.
My favorite aspect of college is being on my own. I have depended on my parents my entire life always having them check up on me making sure I complete work and maintain a schedule etc. This always scared me because I always would worry about what I would do when I was on my own at.

I tolerated the bulling every day until one day, in my senior year, Dick didn't show up to school for a whole week.
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.
Moreover, I did not say a word to anybody my entire first year. I could not read any of the work giving to me much less understand it. Consequently, I was held back one grade. Times where difficult for me the first few years here in America.This new life I now live in America transformed me completely to a different person. Today, I realize how important and significant that change was.
Senior Year Was a Waste When most people think of their senior year many thoughts come to their minds like: prom, homecoming, the sports they participated in, and friends that they loved to go out with. Although, these activates were enjoyable, they did not teach me anything. I think my senior year was a waste. Senior year was a waste of time because there are not many new lessons learned, and the few lessons that are taught you have to learn over in college.
