While I was never allowed to look at the children’s files, I had been told that many of these children had gone through abuse. I would never find out what or how, but that never lessened the need to protect them, which really was not necessary at that point. I could not protect them from whatever…

is big, but I knew that great things do not come easily in life. One has to make sacrifices, compromises, work hard to reach somewhere in life.

The Three Musketeers My father didn’t like me, my mother tried to make it seem like she didn’t like me. Though my mother put in effort in her attempt, my father did not as much. My father only put up with me because she put up with me. If she’d ever wanted me gone, he’d simply ask her when. I don’t think I was supposed to happen. Not for him, at least.

In college everything is more fast-paced and the teacher require the student to be more responsible. When I complete two years at Mayland I plan to transfer to King University in Bristol, Tennessee to get my masters in business administration. I like this college because it reminds me a lot of Mountain Heritage in that the class sizes are not too large, and the overall campus size…
