Before the beginning of my senior year, I had no plan of furthering my education. I didn’t prepare for anything, from taking my SATS to looking in to colleges to even thinking about what I’d like to study. I wasn’t allowed to have a plan for my own future, so I didn’t waste my time in thinking about it, someone else had already determined it for me.

There wasn’t a time when I saw her in the hall way that she didn’t acknowledge me and ask me how everything was going and updating me on deadlines coming up for multiple college related things. She always offered her help when it came to filling out paper work and helped explain and answered every question I asked without hesitation. She took time out of her busy schedule, I don’t know how many times, to just sit there and assure my mind that everything I’ve done from this point on in my life was a step right direction when I was having my doubts about it all and having a hard time coping when I felt alone in it all. She made me realize that if I wanted to better my life I had to go to and experience new things and meet new people and learn new things that id actually like to pursue when I’m older. She helped
