I had just moved to San Bernardino‚ Ca to attend college‚ from South Central Los Angeles. I had gone to an all-black high school‚ attended an all-black church and at the time had all black friends. I remember the first day my family packed me up and we headed off to my new life in college. I had only been in school for a little

My First Learning Team Experience My involvement in the Learning Team environment at the University of Phoenix has been a great learning experience. When we were assigned teams at the end of the first week‚ I did not really know what to expect. I have worked on teams numerous times in my career‚ both in the professional and private sectors.

My experience with failure came with athletics. For my whole life I have always been involved in sports like soccer‚ tennis‚ basketball. When I was in the fourth grade I joined a swim team and that was the first and really only sport that I stuck with; swimming came naturally to me‚ and it was something that I could do year round and I loved every minute of it. However‚ once I was in high school I stopped swimming and joined my high school’s cross country team. My dad was a runner all throughout

[Lantier . Session 1 . Journal] My Life Changing Experience That Led Me to CCU My life changed when I became an addict. I was addicted to Meth. It is not a road anyone would want to go down‚ but I chose this road for a long time. Let’s just say it led me down a bad path to nowhere. I lost my dignity‚ my job and my self- respect. My family didn’t want to be around me‚ and that hurt me so deeply. I felt so alone at times‚ and often begged God to take me. It all started when my grandfather passed away. He
