Had it not been for one of my closest friends persuading me to go back to school, I would  have NOT graduated  college with my Associates in Business Management WITH HONORS. It really was a challenge for me, especially working full-time(45-55 hrs a week), raising two very energize boys,and at the same time having issues with my marriage and other personal problems. As much as I wanted to keep my faith and trust in God,I also really felt like giving up. I had too much going on in my life with really no one to talk to, it's as if all hope had failed. But everytime I felt like quitting I would look at my two boys and kept saying to myself, "God has something more in store for me" that was the only motivation that kept me moving forward and not backwards, it took long enough but it was definitely worth it. I can not see myself just working a job and not moving up; that's just not me. I know by God's grace I am better than that, my kids and myself deserve better.  Now I am currently enrolled in the BA program so I can continue my education. I want to thank those for supporting me and those that came out to my graduation that - really meant alot to me.
