When I first attended college I was young and thought I was ready to dive head first into it.…

As I’m sitting here writing this, this is the first semester since I’ve come to UCM that I have not had classes. All in all I was going to graduate in three years with an undergraduate degree.…

    My Motivation: What motivates me the most to pursue a college degree is that I will be the first person in my family to receive one. My grandmother is the backbone behind this motivation because she was always making sure that academics came first in my life. There was rarely a day that I would come home and she would not ask me questions about my homework, asking what I learned in school, or even looked over my homework. As I got older, she made sure I was a part of a college prep program called AVID from 6th-12th grade and that definitely made a difference for me. It helped me understand the importance of continuing your education and how beneficial it can be to succeeding in life.…
