life events
Three events that impacted my life was a lifelong dream of wanting to attend college, my supervisor encouragement and accomplishment and having my last child which have medical issue other children don’t normally have.
College was not a way of life for my family. Therefore, my dream was to be the first person in my family to attend and complete college. There were so many people around me attending school and juggling their life. In taking the time to stand back and watch, it deterred me to want to do the same. By doing so, it will better the life of my kids and me. My supervisor was attending school and she talked to me about the importance of getting an education. I watched her manage three jobs, five children, her household, and a full load of six classes each semester and be successful at them all. When she graduated from Lone Star Community College, she continued her progress by transferring to Sam State University, where she graduated. My supervisor didn’t stop there; she is continuing on to get her Masters and not letting anything stand in her way. She was a true role model in my life. There was never a moment when I heard be discouraging, no matter how the situation looked or sounded. It seemed she had control over everything going on in her life. She continuously encouraged me by telling me she would help in any way possible. She started by helping me chose a college and explaining the application process and how to go about getting assistance in many area. No matter what time or the day or night she right there to give her love and support with a smile so bright.
The day final came when I took a stand and said college is for me and I know I can do it. There are many people around me doing it every day along with their busy lives. Therefore, I was not about to left behind holding on to a dream. Instead, I put my dream into action by applying for college and financial assistance. There were many obstacles in the way but I was able to conquer them and
