Hard work didn’t start senior year, it started my first day I entered high school. My teacher always told me if you sit towards the front the key is you do better. I went above and beyond to make sure I was at the top of doing everything I could. My freshman year in high school I received A’s and B’s. The grades weren’t just given to me, hard work paid off I accomplished the goal I set for myself.
June 8, 2013 finally came; I made it to graduation day. I was a Seventy-First graduate. My name was the 30th name called. I was so happy when I graduated! I felt that all of my hard work was finally being paid off! I also cried too because I felt that I wouldn't be able to see a lot of my close friends anymore, but nothing much has changed we all still keep in touch to be honest I thought I wouldn't miss being in high school at all, but I actually do because it was so much easier. And of course I do miss being with some of my friends. You are still in high school so enjoy it as much as you can .

During my first year of high school, I did not achieve honor roll two out of the four cycles. Not achieving honor roll really made an impact on me because I felt as if I did not try hard enough, I failed myself. This made me work harder than I did and as an outcome, I achieved honor roll the other two cycles. Continuing onto my sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school I held my head high to make this an ongoing achievement. As I planned, I kept my word and made the honor roll list every cycle.…

I am not sure I could express into words how much I have grown and learned throughout this journey of my graduate degree with Capella. I had been wanting to go into this field for over 10 years, but didn’t have the opportunity to until a couple years ago. As soon as the opportunity came up, I dived right into it. Not knowing too much of the whole process of hours and requirements, all I knew was that I loved helping people and had a passion for it. I have been so fortunate to have the support of my family and more importantly my two beautiful girls. It has been a major sacrifice for them being a single parent going back to school. There has been many times that I rather no count that we couldn’t go do certain things because I had a paper to write. At first it didn’t matter to me to attend graduation, but seeing all the hard work that I have put into doing the best I could and the sacrifices they have made I want them to also join in the celebration because I am proud of them too.…
