life events
Three events that impacted my life was a lifelong dream of wanting to attend college, my supervisor encouragement and accomplishment and having my last child which have medical issue other children don’t normally have.

College was not a way of life for my family. Therefore, my dream was to be the first person in my family to attend and complete college. There were so many people around me attending school and juggling their life. In taking the time to stand back and watch, it deterred me to want to do the same. By doing so, it will better the life of my kids and me. My supervisor was attending school and she talked to me about the importance of getting an education. I watched her manage three jobs, five children, her household, and a full load of six classes each semester and be successful at them all. When she graduated from Lone Star Community College, she continued her progress by transferring to Sam State University, where she graduated. My supervisor didn’t stop there; she is continuing on to get her Masters and not letting anything stand in her way. She was a true role model in my life. There was never a moment when I heard be discouraging, no matter how the situation looked or sounded. It seemed she had control over everything going on in her life. She continuously encouraged me by telling me she would help in any way possible. She started by helping me chose a college and explaining the application process and how to go about getting assistance in many area. No matter what time or the day or night she right there to give her love and support with a smile so bright.

The day final came when I took a stand and said college is for me and I know I can do it. There are many people around me doing it every day along with their busy lives. Therefore, I was not about to left behind holding on to a dream. Instead, I put my dream into action by applying for college and financial assistance. There were many obstacles in the way but I was able to conquer them and

    My name is Julia and I am in my early twenties, and I would have never have imagined that I would one day be going back to school to earn my college degree. My mother and fiancé encouraged me to pursue it, because of my love of art and talking to people, marketing and public relations and that it would be very expensive since I wanted to go to college in America but could not afford it at the time. They were very supportive from the start; my fiancé assisting me in writing notes on flash cards and giving me pop quizzes and my mom reminding me to complete homework assignments when I was busy doing household chores. To me, my life was going great as I advanced further toward my future goals.…

    Starting at eight years old, I always envisioned attending college and obtaining a degree that would allow me to accomplish what I want in life. Over time, I have faced many obstacles such as dyslexia, emotional trauma, and family challenges. All through these challenges, I never let anything deter me from my course of attending college. Despite being able to overcome obstacles, I have come to realize there are things in life that I have little to no control over. Now that I have had time to experience the joys, hard work, and endless opportunities that come with being a college student, I have come too far to let anything stop me from finishing this chapter of my life. In combination with my scholarships and work-study, as a college student with little money I rely partly on my parents to finance my education. Although my parents will continue to do all they can to help finance my education, their income stability is not guaranteed, my family…

    Growing up, I did not have too many positive influences in my life, I never had anybody to look up to until I met her. My supervisor served as mentor, big sister and friend all in one. She led by example and possessed all the qualities I wished to have. Even though my supervisor worked over 25 hours a week and was enrolled in a full-time graduate program in Rutgers, she always went out of her way to get to know me personally and shared her experiences with me. As my supervisor, she knew my strengths, weaknesses, and my abilities. During times where I felt like giving up, she pushed me to discover more about my own capabilities and my potential. We would schedule study sessions together and had bi-weekly one-on-one meetings where we were able to discuss academics and social life. She shared her skills and knowledge and provided constructive feedback. In turn, it is essential for me to work with students, I want to empower them in order to make college a positive experience despite any obstacles they might encounter along the…

    Quite possibly the most impactful event in my life was the death of Harriet Williams. Harriet was a foster mother and a devout Christian. She had fostered six children to adulthood and one of her own. When she stumbled upon me I was only 2 months old and the story she would always tell was and I was so cute that she just had to adopt me but because she didn't want to make the other children jealous she adopted all of them as well. Harriet had enough love in her heart to adopt 7 other boys and two girls all because she loved me. Looking back on it now she probably said that to all of us but it will always be special to me.

    In today’s world, a college education is the cornerstone of life. Obtaining a college degree opens many doors of opportunity. These building blocks of opportunity will help shape who I am as a person. I am building a future, striving for success, and always looking to better myself. Abraham Lincoln once said “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” I have been haunted by similar words, in my own head, for quite some time. I never finished college, yet I love to learn. I have always dreamed of completing college, owning a company, or working in an office. Now, given the opportunity, completing this degree will become my greatest achievement. Until now, I have always felt that I let myself down. I’ve always had the best intentions, but life’s unexpectedness put several roadblocks in the way of me completing a degree. I graduated high school twenty-five years ago. Since then, I have raised a family and have unfulfilling employment. Being able to attend college and complete this degree which I am embarking upon is important to me because I have matured into the person I want to be.…

    I was the type of student to do the bare minimum and do whatever it takes just to get by. Going into this senior year I thought it was going to be a breeze but I've been wrong before. This senior year has taught me that if I want to be successful in my life then I need to give it my all just like Jesus commanded us too. This past summer I started to look into colleges I would be interested in playing football for. I found a few schools in Wisconsin that interested me so me and my mother drove 28 hours in a Prius to go visit 4 schools. During the trip I realized that college is closer than it seems. College is not just something we dream of one day but it is the next step in our lives. I am extremely excited for what God holds for me in the future and am ready to face life's challenges. High school is a lot of pressure but we all will look back one day and remember the good times of it. I am very thankful for the people in my life that have made me the man I am today. Finding the right college is going to a hard decision but I know God will put me at the place I need to be an I am very excited wherever that is going to…
