My life

My life has not been picture perfect or anywhere near that. I am the first child to go to college and I am so blessed and thankful to be here. My father finished high school and that was it. My mom finished high school then went to kirkwood for two years and that was it. My brother Matt dropped out of high school but ended up getting his GED. My brother Dustin graduated high school 3 hours before comencement. My family is not big on education. So they were not helpful on the college hunt. But I want to be a teacher, I want to make learning enjoyable for students, so I had my teacher help me. My parents are being as helpful as they can on paying for my education as I could not get a loan but they can only do so much. I went through hell while growing up there was constant fighting and cops at my house. But I love my family and we are closer now than we ever have been.

  1. Were there any first-generation college scholarships available for you? I would think that you would be a prime candidate for you. I am proud of you, making this decision. That is fantastic and such a brave step for you to take.
