I have been through a lot in my life before I started college. The number one thing that has impacted my life would be the tornado’s that hit Alabama on April 27, 2011 because, that was when my life turned upside down and I lost everything I owned. When I lost everything that I had worked hard for up until that day is what has made me realize that if I want to be able to have certain things again I will have to work just has hard. I am initially motivated to start because of my son, my dreams, and my partner. My mom, a good paying job, and also a long- term goal is what will motivate me to keep going and graduate. Throughout my course work I plan to stay motivated by just looking at my son and knowing that my partner is doing this with me.
