The Ride

Yes it has been that and more, as I just finished my other two classes this term, I took some time out of my busy day, which is not to busy right now because the term is over and have about a week till they start up again (my last class for my bachelors…I am so excited) anyway, I took a moment (ok maybe more than just a moment) to reflex back to 2009 till now and wondered how in the heck did I be able to gain a associate degree and soon to have my bachelors degree. With everything that has gone one since 2009 I am surprised I stuck with it, but I did and am very proud of myself and it is something that can’t ever be taken away from me. If some one told me that I would have both a associate degree and bachelors degree in February 2013, I would have looked at them and called them crazy….but that was than and this is now and the now is reality and the reality I have proven to people (and it wasn’t really to prove to no one but myself really that I could do something that I am very proud of) that no matter what a person situation is that nothing is impossible. So it has been an up and down ride, a ride I would not have wanted to miss. It just proves to me even with that ride that if you put your mind to something that anything is possible no matter the situation and in my situation, I knew I had to change and in early 2009 the change was to go back to school and get an education and back than I had average goals, to get my associates and have an “C” average grade…oh boy were my goals low or what, not only did I blow them goals out of the water, I now am standing with a “A” average and have been on the deans' and president’s list for almost every term since 2009 think there was one or two terms I wasn’t on it.  Was it easy? No it was not and there was a few times I did not think I was going to make it and took a term off here and there and didn’t think I was going to have the funding to finish my degree, but I didn’t give up I kept on coming back to Kaplan University (yes maybe the the perfect university but what university is, but they have treated me good for the most part and love going to Kaplan), the point that the ride maybe not always that good of a ride, have stuck through everything and no matter what life is thrown at you that if you stay positive, strong and motivated there is nothing a person can’t do if they put some work into it. So never give up on your dreams.
