Pass/Fail: LOCKE & KEY Adaptation

Welcome to another edition of Pass/Fail, where I take on the question of how well a comic/graphic novel is adapted for either large or small screen. I’m not reviewing adaptations here (though opinion does sneak in from time to time); what I am doing is looking at how well either the spirit of the original property is explored or how well the writers/producers/actors/etc. literally lift the…

You know what, professor sir, faculty, assistants and public in general—I have been busting my ass to stay afloat since I was brought onto this earth, not screaming, chasing for air but alive. I have been fighting and scratching and clawing to graduate since 2007. I was initially going to graduate Cum Laude.

I wrote that man that totaled my car in 2010 thanking him for humbling me. Though he was simply a factor, the situation completely sidelined my initial ambitions. The accident and following issues drove me into the ground but it made me fight my way back up. I needed that. I told that man I would be walking across the stage this May. I was fighting. 

I sat on the operation table in November 2004 confronting a simple truth of “fix me now, or just let me die on this operation table”. I’m here. I have been fighting to stay afloat and seizure-free since. I do not use that mindset expecting people to fix my problems. I have fought, scratched and clawed beyond any barrier or boundary.

I do not live questioning “what if” or “I wish I would have”. It is always WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I’m here, this sucks, what is my next step? How do I get out of this or how do I find the light in such a tough situation. 

The odds are not against me but not with me. I am a female with a dominant personality in the workforce. I am a natural introvert. I have a sub par GPA but a sharp tongue and a stance that can prove otherwise.
