As a single mother of four children, it is my responsibility to be a positive role model for them. One of my roles is instilling how vital a college education is towards their future, which was problematic since I lacked one myself. Therefore, because children learn through example, making the decision to acquire a college degree was a necessary choice. The challenge began when it was time to decide what field of study to target, what type of school to attend, and where I envisioned myself in the future.…

Accustomed to always staying around the adults when she was younger, Ashley picked up on their maturity. During her high school years she would sometimes find herself annoyed by her friend’s immaturity during their adolescent years. Her maturity resulted in her excelling in school and the hobbies she was involved in during school. She was voted in as the Jr. High volleyball captain by her teammates who said, “She’s the most mature person on the team and we can count on her to keep the team afloat.” Being mature made it hard for her to relate to other kids, which caused kids her age to not be able to relate to her either. She never really knew what it meant…

One of Destiny’s greatest attributes is her confidence. Everyday, I have phenomenal students walk into my classroom, but Destiny stands out because of her drive and consideration of others. Unfortunately, many people doubt our young people’s character today. However, I wish that those skeptics could spend five minutes with Destiny. They would see a young woman who is respectful, well-spoken, and a young woman that quite simply wants to help people. Throughout Destiny’s high school career she has acted on these attributes through her involvement in SADD, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, while receiving honor roll status. She also has worked part time at a restaurant, while maintaining a 3.17 GPA. Destiny has many strengths, however I think her greatest strength is her maturity. At the beginning of the Leadership class, Destiny was brave enough to share her “stage fright” issues with me. In spite of her fear, she came to class every day and worked at chipping away at that fear of speaking in front of others. By the end of the trimester, it was apparent to the class and myself that Destiny had overcome her fear. When I think of Destiny, the following quote comes to mind. “It’s OK to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.” (Mandy Hale)…
