Only thing holding me back was waiting for graduation to come. Once graduation hit,, it opened up a new chapter in my life. It was time a for me to find my purpose in life and do anything thing to get it. My high school graduation was one of the most monumental moments of my life and I will cherish it for ever.

Living on my own was a challenge for me because I lived with four other siblings all my life, but it was preparing me for the future. I attended Houston Community College. On August 30, 2014, my life changed forever. I begin to feel sick and didn't know what caused this to happen. I went to the hospital and the doctors told me I was diagnosed with an acute pancreatic.

This minor setback made me the man I am today and I am happy this occurred. If I get accepted into Towson University, I am going to bring the fire and energy in more work and get the best education
