I still remember the day I stepped into Maine East High School as a Freshman, at that time, all I wished for was to graduate from this school with good grades. High school was not the way I imagined, it is way different from what I thought and definitely different from Middle School. Freshman year was the “exploring/adventure” year, finding where each classes were, what activities/clubs were offered at this school and many more.

A tragedy has struck my heart, I had lost a loved one. I knew that I couldn't just throw away everything and quit but I wasn't motivated to go back into school.

Your academic record should be something that as student leaving high school you should be proud of. However, there are many reasons why a student’s grade can not be a good representation of the student.

“What are we going to do! What about my graduation?” Linz repeats frantically over and over, as the daunting reality slowly sat in.

What is graduation? Some people would say that it's proof of the freedom we will soon experience. Some say that it's the end of the best years of our lives. Some would say that it's when we're forced to grow up and become adults. Some would say that it's just another day, no different than any other day, other than the scrolls, the funny outfits and the clapping. Some go into it silent, awaiting their chance to be recognized for their victory dance. Some use stupid comparisons to describe it by saying that it's like the opening of a new door or that it's like taking another step on the never-ending ladder of life. Some praise it, some dread it. Everyone has a different opinion, but there's one thing that we all agree on. There's one

As a disadvantaged student, I am always looking to achieve a higher education. I’ve overcome a lot of adversity in my life and I truly believe an education is necessary to be successful. I am a black male from the inner city of Detroit, MI. My father is incarcerated and I come from a low income family. I am up against a lot and society says I won’t thrive in life. I use these disadvantages to motivate me to provide a better life for myself. Obtaining a Ph.D. would allow me to reach that level of success that I’ve always wanted to reach. I want to show my family and others that no matter where you come from you can do great things. Receiving a 4-year degree is amazing however, pursing higher education after undergrad is mind blowing and I’m excited and eager for that next chapter of my life. I want to use my disadvantages to drive me to receive a Ph.D. and someday mentor and lead other disadvantaged students to do the same. Continuing my education after undergrad is not only a goal, it’s a want and it’s a need for a student like me. My drive, determination, and optimism will allow me to work toward excellence and let this dream become my reality.
