I graduated High School in 1999 with my entire future planned out in detail. The only problem that I faced was the road that led to my destination. I knew what I wanted to be, where I wanted to live, and even the cars I planned on owning. Unfortunately, I had no clue of how to obtain everything.

Now that I am a father and a husband, I enter college, especially when I have no time in the world to spare. Nevertheless, here I am, excited about my
