'Furthering My Education Furthermore\r'
'Throughout my educational experience, writing has neer been virtuoso of my strong points. I acquire also anchor difficulty in to discussing my shortcomings with strangers. For the sake of furthering my education, I will attempt to further these difficulties to the side and rest up to my potential as a successful college student and a new-fangled mother of two. Allow me to take you through my journey. In the summer of 2004, I was reliable into a ââ¬Å"Groups platformââ¬Â at Indiana University. I was thrilled to be going to college. All of my family was ecstatic as head since I was the low member of the family to attend.The ââ¬Å"Groups Programââ¬Â was a program of approximately 300 minority students from whole over the state of Indiana who were guaranteed exclusively quad years of college to be paid for if we completed six weeks of screen outes on campus before the fall semester began. Six weeks? This should be a breeze especially since my best friend, Coyalet t, was accepted as well. We would also be rooming to energiseher. The problem with that was we had similarly overmuch fun. We did exactly what we did in Anderson (marijuana), and we were kicked out in two weeks. Dang! So much for making the family proud. hold up up to Anderson it was, and I was sincerely bummed out.Here I was, a a few(prenominal) weeks out of High teachhouse, and I al brisk messed up my shot at going to college. I didnââ¬â¢t sink up though. I applied to IU on my own, and I could non believe they accepted me to go in patronise in the fall. I entangle that I was experiencing some sort of miracle, or it could have been the detail that I graduated high school with a 3. 8. Either way of life I was huffy to have a second chance at obtaining a college degree. My best friend was not so lucky. I believe she ended up doing some educate via the Internet. Oh well, I was on my way to a disclose future and nothing or no one was going to stop me.Boy, was I wro ng. When I went punt to Bloomington, I met another freshman named ling. We authentically piddle it off. She was exceedingly nice, and we had a few things in common. She was from Muncie (which is not too far from me), we equivalentd the alike music, we had the same style, and we liked to smoke weed. We were together either day. Heather did not mind doing it all day long. Since the chance to smoke was always at that place, I did it too. My grades began to slip dramatically. School make up and marijuana well(p) does not mix. The quantify that I did show up to class, I probably was stoned.Drugs and school are a really meritless combination, and I had a very hard clipping juggling the two. Still, I was not going to give up. Iââ¬â¢m not really a give-up type of girl. The solely problem with that is I didnââ¬â¢t essential to give up either of the two. So I made it through the first semester without acquiring busted or giving up. My GPA was about a 1. 2, and I was plac ed on academician probation. I stuck rough because I was not ready to go al-Qaida yet. I was having too much fun, and I cute to finish my education. The spring semester began exquisitely. I was smart profuse to begin my first class at one oââ¬â¢clock in the afternoon.Therefore, I was attending classes more. Only now I had a problem with driving mansion ever soy weekend to see my boyfriend. This took time away from study and also cost me a lot of screw up money and about $1000 in hotfoot tickets. During that time, I felt my family and boyfriend were worth all of that. I got my GPA up to about a 2. 5, and in May, I was ready to go menage for summer vacation. I did not know that I was a duplicate weeks expectant! I found that out about a week or two of organism at home. I was revolt with myself. It took me a few months to in reality get excited at the belief of having a treat.I ended up breaking up with my boyfriend during the summer. He was extremely jealous and a busive, and I just had enough. I in spades did not need to raise my son around him. I went back to IU that fall some phoebe bird months pregnant, and I remember beingness ashamed. I wore really big clothes, and I was depressed and afraid. I detest being so far away from home being pregnant and alone. Yet, I still did not want to give up. Especially since I had a huge responsibility coming in a few more months. So I accompanied all my classes, and I studied more than I did the previous year. It helped that I was not doing drugs anymore, too.I would never do that to my small fry. So besides thought so alone, I was doing alright as far as my school work went. Until a day in October when I was rushed to the ER in Bloomington. I had real just gotten back to Bloomington from a trip home to see my family when I decided to go to Starbucks and get ready to work all night on school work. For no reason at all, I blacked out in the line at Starbucks and pass water my head on a counte r. I do not remember much but the feeling of people swarming over me and voices that sounded a million miles away. The climb to the emergency room was bumpy, and I was terrified.I have never ridden in an ambulance before under any circumstance, and I had no idea what was going on. All I could think about was my unborn child. Was he alright? Did I hurt him in any way when I fell? Is he going to live? When I arrived at the hospital, I never felt so alone in my life. I precious my mommy. And out of nowhere, a little Japanese madam entered my room and held my hand. She would have to do. She stayed with me the whole time, and I had never seen her a day in my life. She was a friend of a friend of my motherââ¬â¢s. I really did not care at that point. I was just so happy to have someone there by my side.The doctors checked on my baby and ran a few test and released me early the next morning. My child was alright. The doctors had discovered that my iron was really low, and thatââ¬â¢s what caused the blackout. The thought of the scariest day of my life repeating itself again was enough to send me packing and on my way back to Anderson. So I got plenty of rest until I delivered my baby on January 11th, 2006. This was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I had a 6lb 9oz Golden Child, and I was the proudest soulfulness alive. Motherhood was nice. I had a job at Wendyââ¬â¢s, and I had my own apartment.I was so busy being a mom that I sort of disregarded about my education. Well, it was put on the back burner of my mind. A day after my sonââ¬â¢s first birthday, I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. Wow, two kids and Iââ¬â¢m still works the drive-thru at Wendyââ¬â¢s. I was devastated until August 25th, 2007. Thatââ¬â¢s when I became a mother to the most beautiful baby girl Iââ¬â¢d ever be my eyes upon. I was so proud to be a mother to these two children. Although I was proud, I was extremely busy now. I ended up getting fired from W endyââ¬â¢s after being there for more than two years.I tried almost everywhere to get a job, and I did not have any luck. later on a couple months of this, I decided to get certified as a nursing assistant. I always wanted to be a nurse to begin with, and I figured I could start there and work my way up. I also knew that I would not have a problem finding a job once I was certified. I worked really hard during my training, and I passed the class with a 98%. I was proud of myself and amazed that I got back in the rhythm of being a student. I wanted more. I wanted more for my children. devil days after I passed the state test, I began working at a nursing home. I love what I do.I started there in 2008, and Iââ¬â¢m still with them today. Iââ¬â¢m actually passionate about what I do. The feeling is amazing. later on seeing how I could perform in a school setting, I knew I could do it again. After each day of looking in my childrenââ¬â¢s eyes, I knew I had to do it again. I want a better future for those two. I want a better future for me. I want them to be as proud of me as I am of them. I now understand that the only way to achieve this is by furthering my education. So this is what it feels like to grow up. It took two children to help me realize this, and I wouldnââ¬â¢t trade them in for ten worlds.\r\n'
