Lately colleges have been on my mind like crazy. My family is officially considered poverty. I have never gotten amazing grades by any means, and our family obviously doesn't have the money to pay for college. But because of my ACT scores, it opens a lot of doors. Plus because of my family income, I am in line for grants, scholarships and what not. But that doesn't mean that I have college on lock down. I have to get in to one first. I figured I would just go to Kirkwood, ya know. I mean that's all I could get into, but I guess I was wrong, I have more opportunities then I thought.
I really want to go to Mount Mercy. I don't want to leave every thing I know. Plus its a really good school. I am also looking at Coe which I am actually about to apply to once I finish this blog. All I know is college is important to me. Making something of myself, is important to me. Having something good in life, means something to me. I by no means had a good childhood. It was full of foster care, adoption, abuse, moving, unhappiness, and a lot of people who had no faith. Who told me I would end up as the people in my past, and that I wasn't worth anything. This is my motivation.
TO the people who used to take care of me, if I was with them right now, I wouldn't be in high school right now, I would have dropped out by now, be a drunk, a pot head, pregnant, I'd have nothing. And because I had people to tell me I'd be nothing, I now have everything. So all I have is a thanks for them. Look who is standing tall now!
