Graduation

Can't believe it is almost time to graduate. I have had many doubts over the years that I would ever achieve this goal. I started my college career in 2001 at Cal State Monterey Bay, and as 17 year old I remember standing in my dorm room and telling myself that college just wasn't for me. A short few weeks later I had dropped out.  I went home to Los Angeles and attended various schools and course until I joined the Marine Corps. After I returned from my stint in the Corps, I faced different challenges than my first attempt at college.

I am so grateful for all of my loved ones support and the guidance of my mentors. They all provided me with strength when I was filled with doubt. But the most credit must be given to my son. His birth prompted my return to school and the academic success I have achieved since.  Thank you Avalon. Poppa loves you!
