The journey to higher education began with a dream…can I do this? The answer was a bit uncertain and I was even aware that it may leave me exhausted and drained. But I chose the path because I knew I could do it. If others can, what is my excuse? I don’t have one. I began to list my WHY.
My children…who look up to me.
My parents…who brought me to the land of opportunity.
My husband…who is ready to support.
Myself…chase me.
A year and a half later, here I am…cap and gown…I cried when I unfolded that gown and tears were streaming down my face as I looked through everything. This was a long journey and one that made me realize I could do pretty much anything.
And so can you.
