... & reality set in this morning.... I've been crying since 5:30am This morning I became overwhelmed with emotion. 13 weeks and this dream of simply holding a degree with my name on it will be real. Many don't know my story and that's cool. You don't need to... But just know it's possible. Set your mind to do something and you'll do it... This is my 3rd attempt at a Bachelors degree... When I went back this last time I said, I'm doing this for me! I'm doing this because I want it. I told myself I want nothing less than a 3.5 and I've maintained a 3.6/3.7 GPA. This little girl from 138th that grew up watching her mother struggle, the one they told she wouldn't make it, she'll be a statistic... she made it! #DreamsDoComeTrue #EducatedBlackWoman #ThisIsMyYear #ClassOf2016 #AugustGrad #Bachelors #AlmostThere #RunningThroughTheTape #PursuitOfHappiness (at New York, New York)
