Later as an adolescent, I was an active member of my high school’s Girls Football team and Volleyball. I attend a post-secondary institution right after high school; I received my Medical Assistance Certification from Star Technical Institute in Whitehall, PA. I pursue my dreams of obtaining the education I had always desired and found a great job in the medical assistance field. Another event, which shifted my life forever, was accepting a marriage proposal at a young age and marrying in 1991. I made it clear from the beginning that my education was very important to me and marriage would not stand in the way of my pursuing post-secondary studies or even completing high school. When I announced my engagement due to my pregnancy I was, determine to complete all my studies to make a better life for my son. I became a mother in February 1991 and continued to work as a Manager for a retail store until my husband, who had been unemployed since our marriage, found work. When he secured employment, it gave me the financial flexibility to pursue my dream of attaining higher education, In July 1992. Working in the medical field, you gain so much knowledge and then transferring into the mortgage career, I gained lots of experience. My last job I went back to the medical field as that was the quickest job I can find in my area that was hiring. I was so nervous due to not knowing anyone and having to relearn everything all over

At the age of 16 I had my son Ezikel, he is now six years old and is a wild, exciting, creative young boy he is my biggest blessing.

This is a reflective essay concerning my READ 3423.01 with Dr. Reid in the fall of 2016. As I wrap up my first semester at Texas Women’s University I am awed and thankful. I am the first person in my family to attend University. Some find this surprising because I do come from a family that has done well professionally, but that was due to grit and personalities. The fact is, I was never even spoken to about attending college while I was growing up. I believe this is because no one before me had this experience to share or encourage. The truth is I tried my hardest to not be at school from middle school on, I just wasn’t engaged in the process. Of course, there were a few teachers I connected with, like the business and history teachers, but I hated the rules and structure of the environment. I amazedly graduated with my high school class, as my friends went away to Universities I took some classes at the community college. What I found was that when I got to pick my classes I flourished. Even the classes that others said were too hard to take during summer quarter, I excelled in those as well. As life unfolded I got married, moved out of state and had two daughters. When it was time for my daughters to attend school I was pretty apprehensive about the idea of it. I opened a preschool in a mother-in-law apartment we had on our property and decided they could learn there in a small community. That preschool led to homeschooling, and large educational co-ops. I lived in a

After a moment of silence, she smiled. “My dad never went to college, but he always inspires me everyday to go and better myself there. And my mother did go to college, and she is a walking example of how I can be in the future. Not only do I have them as a backbone, but I have my own personal strive to want to go. I have a fear of being a failure, not being successful, but I know that college is a one way ticket to brighter future, not only for myself, but for my future children as

Arriving on campus was surreal. The buildings were huge and people were walking around every where: families and other young men around my age. I had never been more nervous in my life. Standing there on campus I knew that I had no other option but to succeed. This was a major blessing and opportunity. Going to college just wasn't something everybody did or could do. I needed to make the most of this. Standing there in front of the school I promised myself that I would do my very best to make my mother

My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Wilsey, has influenced my life. Right before I entered fifth grade, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Crohn’s Disease is an incurable disease that causes inflammation throughout my entire gastrointestinal tract. While in fifth grade, I had to miss numerous days of school because of the treatments I would receive during the school day that was three hours away, as well as suffering from complications due to my Crohn’s Disease. Even though I was worried about falling behind in my classwork, Mrs. Wilsey was always there for me and guiding me through the most difficult time of my life.

Lets see, Rachel Follis 'why did I decide to go back to school '? Getting my college degree has been something I have wanted to do ever since I was a child. I dreamed of furthering my education from a young age, I did not play the normal games kids play, I always played school and I was the teacher, I gave homework, graded it. Even when I did not have anyone to teach I would teach my dolls. Well has in life things do not always go as planned, things happened that I had no control over and so my plans got put on hold, for 20 years I took care of my kids and family, I put them first.

At the close of my senior year, I was overcome with bittersweet emotion. After years of working hard to secure my future, which came with getting accepting into my dream school at Christmas, I was hit with crushing news. Consequently, I was told that my family wouldn’t have enough money to send me to the college of my dreams. I was emotionally crushed, however, my senior year AP Literature and Composition teacher spoke encouragement into me. She reassured me that this trial that I am going through won’t last forever; she expressed to never give up and continue to work my hardest to achieve my dreams. Everyday , she was persistent in her challenges, picking me up when I stumbled, disclosing that she would do everything in her power to help me. After

Out of high school I went off to college with a plan. I was so naïve, I had my life all planned out. I was going to a state school study accounting to become a CPA, where I would go to work every day, sit in an office and take home a decent paycheck. Halfway through my degree I realized something was missing, passion of what I was doing. To be completely honest I gave up, I stopped caring and my grades were horrible, in the course of a year I had gone from an A student to a C student. My family was adamant about me staying in school, and sticking it out another semester. I agreed to try but eventually stopped going to class, I should have been dropped from my classes but the university I attended was so large that with 400 plus students to a lecture no one noticed or cared. I dropped out of college, had I not made the decision to continue they would have dismissed me anyway. The grades I received my last year at SUNY Albany do not reflect my academic ability. I regret giving up, I realize now that there were alternate routes I could have taken. However I am one of those

I decided to attend the University but first I needed a job to do so. At the time, I was still living at home and dependent on my parents. I knew they would not be able to support me for long so I had to get a job. I sent out many resumes but didn't get called back. I was becoming impatient and annoyed at the whole situation of not getting a job.”

I graduated high school on May of 2011, full of dreams and ambition for a bright future. Coming from an immigrant family, I wanted nothing more but to make my parents proud and more than anything accomplish the goals I’ve had since I could remember. College cost me double more than Out-Of-State tuition because of my legal status in this country, and I could not apply for loans or scholarships that would normally help students. I decided to look for a full time job to save money for college, and I found a position at Aarons Sales & Lease as a sales representative. Truly, I loved my job and

It was around the start of my spring quarter that I heard grim news about my high school English teacher. Ann Stewart was diagnosed with cancer. Because of her sunny demeanor, she was everyone’s favorite teacher. It was tragically ironic how the nicest person I’ve ever met could meet such an undeserving fate. After a few months, she lost her fight with cancer. At her funeral, I saw so many familiar faces. Former students, colleagues, friends, and family all so deeply saddened. Ms. Stewart lived a life that has meaning and purpose. She was more than a teacher to me. She was a role model. Ms. Stewart had the ability to bring out the best in her students, even when they didn’t believe in themselves. I want to live up to the potential that she knew all her
