There are a couple different components that lead to me on my academic suspension.
So how's that 4.0 going to impact...
I stayed here, because that's what my parents wanted me to do. I didn't have that desire
to really be here and it reflected in my grades.
How did I get back? It really took me a while to get back to where I was, but the thing
that I promised myself was that I would come back when I was ready and when it was really
a desire of my own. I remember waking up one day and I was like, "Okay, I want to go back
to school and I want to do this. I was more determined to prove, not only to others, but
to myself that I am that student that I was in high school, that honor student that I
know I can be.
The CARES office has helped me tremendously. I am a person that needs structure so the
weekly meetings, the mapping out everything, the organization, those things allowed me
to be a successful student this time around.
I told Ms. McPherson that she's not getting rid of me until I graduate. I'm still going
to come with her and I'm still going to meet with her.
I want a degree, because I want to teach. And in order to teach, I have to have that
degree. That's my passion. Children and history are my passion and I want to be able to educate
others to expound on history.
The day I get that diploma, it's going to be an amazing feeling for me, because I did
it and I did it on my own, and I'm making my parents proud. I'm making those who had
so much faith in me and just knew that I was much better of a student than I was the first
time I was here. That's going to make them proud, just to know that I could do it. That's
going to be an amazing experience for me.
