A. This shift was influenced by my transition from being a high school to college student. The greatest contributor to this shift was being offered a scholarship if I completed a summer program at Valencia right after graduation with Bridges to Success program. o The day I enrolled for classes and began furthering my education is the day I accepted the challenge to go beyond my comfort zone in order to be where I wanted to be academically. o This transition came with the effects of:
