Quietly stored away in my brain are the honest and humble memories of the six years I spent serving some of the poorest nursing homes in my community and schools for handicapped children. The service group I founded put on performances for, and spent time socializing with, thousands of people with physical or mental limitations. There were countless moments when I knew I was making a difference just by taking the time to listen, or by letting someone hold my hand. Running this non-profit alone was a tremendous undertaking that absorbed hours beyond calculation. Although there were times of frustration, they paled in comparison to the solitary moments I witnessed as our group made a positive mark on one individual after another.
Healthcare and giving back to my community has always been a goal that is close to my heart. While I attended my first University, I formed a volunteer program to help the children of Prison inmates to find pen pals. I spent my High School years giving back to my community, competing and winning UIL Academic events, taking college courses and being awarded rigorous philanthropic awards to honor my achievements. When I entered High School and college, I began to actively partake in a multitude of Healthcare volunteer opportunities’ and leadership roles. Every year in High School, I was blessed with the honor of Class President and once I reached my junior year of High School, I took it upon myself to strive for bigger goals.
Much to the relief of my parents, my pat answer of a professional athlete, to “What do you want to do in the future?” evaporated when evaluations indicated I had no talent.

As a student always seeking high standards in academics and influenced by pressures of family and friends, I made an assumption that community colleges was not as efficient and was a place for students that failed to find a fairly better college or university to attend to. My family has significantly influenced me and shaped my worldview into their expectations. However, this assumption is gradually altering as I have become one of those students that was rejected from those higher rank universities.

Returning to college for me was something that really came unexpectedly. I joined the military in 2008 after stopping just three credits short of my degree in Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Ft Lauderdale.

Even though my return to college was not planned I am truly excited to become proficient in a new trade.
Through high school my grades weren’t the best. I enjoyed challenging classes, but they were a lot of work. Between the work load and problems at home, I didn’t keep up well. By spring of my senior year I realized my hopes of leaving the small town I lived in weren’t going to happen. A friend who worked at the local community college contacted me about attending classes in the fall.

As an upcoming freshman in college I have realized many things looking back at my high school career, and home life outside of school. I use to wish for time to speed up so I could hurry and become my own person, a young adult and now I will truly miss it but I know my time was well spent because I used it wisely by partaking in opportunities to better myself, and spending my time wisely In and outside of school.

The first reason I want to get into the early college pathway is because it will save time in the future for me, after I graduate from high school.

It is also something i would like to do in future.

Some of my teachers tried to tell me how high school was going to be like for all of us in the moment I believed them but the only advice I valued was my older brothers. “No one is really going to help you or give you direction. In fact, the odds are against you.”
