I had no idea what I was capable of until I became a father. Before my son Avalon was born, I was not a motivated student. I took the occasional class at Santa Monica College but never fully devoted myself to my studies and my grades reflected it. Despite only being a few math courses shy of the transfer and AA requirements, I had little interest in taking statistics. Math had always been a weakness for me, so much so that I figured I would never finish school.
And then I got the news! Suddenly statistics wasn't such a daunting task. My son was born February 4th, 2013. It was almost as if my body knew what was coming decided it was go time. I was a dedicated student when I finished my coursework at SMC in December of 2013. I entered ASU with an eagerness to learn and gain the skills necessary to provide my son the best possible opportunities. I feel so fortunate to have had this focus and drive coupled with an amazing university. I feel extremely prepared to enter the workforce.
