Junior high was an important stage of my life because that was when puberty occurred and my view of the world changed. Meeting people with unique personalities, different from mines taught me to not be judgmental. Since I was a little girl I had always loved to socialize and make new friends. Communicating with others has never been a problem for me because I have a gift of reasoning. Understanding and…

In the late nineties, I expelled from Mackenzie High School in my senior year. I was a lost soul walking through the streets of Detroit acting giddy, and very ignorant. I went astray to all my goals as the streets had my attention, therefore I was prepared to do any and everything I recognized was wrong.

think about religion. There are schools that are and are not religious. For Christians that want to go to a Christian school, Colorado Christian University is a wonderful choice. It is a private school, so it will cost a little bit more, but it’s well worth it. CCU is just like any other college out there.

people cringe. Reflecting back on my high school years, I would say that I do regret a lot of the decisions I have made. But now I’ve learned that the only thing stopping me from succeeding is myself. During my first two years of high school I definitely didn’t have the same mentality of everyone else. I came into high school with a carefree attitude. “Freshman year doesn’t matter” they would tell me. Young and naive, it was my mindset that how I did in school didn’t determine my future. A year…
