From that day on I have kept going with one foot step in front of the other, sometimes I would come in one maybe two hours before the actual time. I was supposed to be there to get extra time to finish studying. It felt even better that I didn’t have anyone pressuring me to go to school. I did this on my own, with the help of my family and instructors also.
I kept pushing myself I wanted this and I needed this to start the next chapter in my life which is adulthood. Here I am now 4 weeks in and I’m done. I had the support of not only my family but Ms. Carol and my instructor Dr.R; without that support system I know I wouldn’t have been so enthusiastic. This is only my first step next is eight months down the line.
I’m going to be walking across that stage accepting my degree in MA I promise you this won’t be the last of me. I feel so good that I’m not the black sheep in my family anymore. It feels so good saying I did it but this is only one baby step towards the future. There’s so much more to come. I really appreciate everyone around me for that extra push that motivates me and that extra confidence. I will forever remember this moment from holding doors for others to helping someone in need. I will forever remember this feeling of accomplishing something and this new found confidence I have and when life starts to get hard I’ll think about where I was in my life and how far I’ve come, and that will forever keep me
