Yea , graduation is happening in about 5 days and I still can’t believe that God has allowed me to make it this far…I graduated from high school back in 2000 and yes I was ranked 310th of the 380 students in my graduating class and after graduation I did not go back to school for 2-3 yrs. Once I decided to continue with school it turned out that I was not ready for college level courses and ended up having to take all these prereq. courses, like reading, writing and math classes, all totaling around 20 some hrs. that did not count for anything.

So then I continued with school but did so as a part time student, taking day and night classes…So I attended Vansgramville Tech, WakeTech, NCSU and finally ECU…Now as I look back in to this journey of education I am amazed at the fact that I did not give up. I am the first one in my fam. to receive a college degree and am a minority in this country and that is really what drives me to not quit this race… I feel as though God has allowed me to represent and make a difference in my Latino community and am very thankful…..Anyways, I still don’t even know if I am graduating and I just wanted to say that I am here in library studying listening to Groovera Jet City Lounge (my chilling station).
