Graduation!!!

I graduated last week!! I’m the first of my siblings to even go to college. I got my Associates from the community college I was going to. I plan on getting my Bachelors too. I’m immensely proud of myself! I didn’t give up. I started going to college in 2016 straight out of high school. Normally an Associates takes 2 years. Mine took longer.

After 2 1/2 years I decided to take a break from school for my mental health. I was stressed out and lost. I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life. Everyone kept telling me to go back to school. I always said I would eventually. Then one day while I was praying God spoke to me and told me to go back to school and told me what he wanted me to go for. So I went back to school. It was extremely stressful trying to juggle everything.

I was going to school full time and working full time. I was constantly tired because I wasn’t getting enough sleep and there were many times I wanted to quit. Now I have a degree. I celebrate myself for not giving up when it got hard this time. For pushing past what I felt in order to be successful. This was something I worked hard for. I feel very accomplished and I know that this isn’t where it stops. I have much more to do. Many accomplishments and successes ahead of me. I can’t wait to see what I do next.
