parents. Most children change what they want to be through out there life but not me. I made up my mind 15 years ago that I wanted to be a nurse and have worked every day since then to make this come true. I have multiple reasons for attending college. The first is, my parents never really gave us an option growing up. They always forced the idea and when I was younger I resented it, I wanted to travel the world not go back to school right after finishing twelve years of it. The…

In my family as well as in a majority of families across the country college is a must. I always knew, even in my youth, that after I finished high school I would be getting ready for a four year college experience. It was pretty much a no-brainer. My parents preached to me how competitive the world is becoming and the only way to succeed is with a college degree. I told myself that I decided to go to college solely to please my parents but deep down I knew I felt obligated to go for myself. I…

Share your thoughts with people around you while keeping you privacy.” More often than not, the thoughts of the people are not appropriate. In this day and age, it seems like there is always a new app being created, and it seems like they all have major drawbacks, especially Yik Yak.

progress in my education was to apply to Sacramento State. Unfortunately I did not meet the deadline for the application. I did not let this news get to me, I made sure I would go to community college. The end of my senior year came along and I graduated with A’s and B’s. I was extremely proud of myself and thankful for my mom pushing me to walk the stage. I applied to Folsom Lake College and I couldn’t have made a better choice. As a freshman in college I decided to take seventeen units my…

were because they were being obvious. They also made up very inappropriate rumors about me and spread them around the school. I tried to live everyday like it was not happening, but it became worse. My junior year of high school, I was competing in a state pageant and had to create a Facebook page for myself and my platform. My platform was anti-bullying because of my experience with it.
