This is my first year of college , very challenging due to covid so everything is online. I’m a mom of two boys who also are doing remote learning . Covid has changed everything but we will make the best out of this situation and continue to succeed. I know first hand how covid triggers your body sadly a few months ago I however was in contact with someone who had it and passed it to me. I like to talk about these things to help others somewhat understand more about what it does. This virus attacked my lungs my breathing was not good had me on the asthma machine almost 4/5 times a day, very horrible so please keep safe and wear masks. I am all better now and cleared from covid.

Now I like to share my experience in how I finally made it to college. First let me say it was not easy but yet I have made it passed all obstacles that were in my way. I was in high school and got kicked out over stupidly behavior following the wrong crowd. I then became a mom, I am now 30 years old and I can tell you that my kids changed me for the better in maturity level. I’ve changed from making young girl decisions to making wise adult decisions, and this is one of them attending college. I needed to study and refresh my memory and go for my GED exam, I managed to pass three but needed to retake 2. A GED you need 5 subjects to pass, I took the ones failed over and passed. Receiving my certificate in the mail was the happiest I’ve been and right away I applied to Kings Borough Community College. My goal is to have my kids proud of me and follow my steps in also graduating from college, they need to understand how important school is and I will be the perfect role model so show them.

I can see myself graduating with my babies right beside me. They definitely give me hope each day, I REFUSE TO FAIL. This is my first semester in being in college, so I’m trying to get familiar with everything. I am so proud of myself for not giving up and making it this far, I always say having kids does not stop your life in fact they make it better. I say that because of them my life is better, they made me become the women I am today. I was always the type of person to get work done fast and correct, I learned to never have it get pilled up. I know I will make it through college I have the ambition in me to do so.
