My son has been my motivation for everything that I do in life. In the middle of my college career, I gave birth to him in January of 2010 and became a working mom. I've worked in the retail customer service industry for years as an assistant manager and now work for a state government agency. In between this time of working full-time, I tried to take a class here or there, but my level of determination wasn't where it is now. Mentally, I was drained from working two jobs, raising my son on my own, and trying to finish getting my degree. Thank God I had a tight circle around me that wanted to help me in any way they could and uplift me in dark times.
After 10 years out of school, I saw a sign that said free tuition, and I told myself it's time to get this degree, and I was able to get it in a year. Getting my associates, working a full-time job, and raising my son to be an upstanding young man did not come easy, but with great sacrifice. I would go to work in the morning, do my homework on my breaks, go home to take my son to track practice, then cook my son dinner, and then go back to doing homework. I graduated in May of 2025, and now I'm right back in school to get my bachelor's degree. So let me be your motivation...if you want it, go get it! The road is never easy for anything you truly want in life, but believe in yourself! You can do ALL things through Christ! He'll never leave you nor forsake you.
