    To tell about a life experience that will impact my education and drive me through my educational journey could be a simple statement of how I would want to better myself, be a stronger provider for my family or maybe even so I could impact lives through a new field of work.

Since I was a young girl I have always done as I was told from my parents, get a job, graduate High School, go to college, grow up and get married and have children. I have done this with one exception; I never graduated.…

    Surviving high school and arriving at the blissful end labeled senior year is an accomplishment that gives me a great sense of pride. High school to the naked eye looks like no real challenge, but on the inside high school can be described as a cesspool of unnecessary drama, crippling school work, and devious teachers.

But what exactly is mindfulness and how does one go about achieving it?…
