My most significant endeavor since attending community college would be helping my community to receive an Adult Daycare.

I have also used and sought the aid of my relationship that I have built by being at my community college. This Adult Daycare service or Coltrane LIFE center is something that I am passionate about having in my hometown. My grandpa has Alzheimer's and I have seen the stress that tolls on the family and caregiver.
I graduated back in 2013 from a pretty decent school district. During high school I wasn’t an A student or a B student, I just did what I needed in order to pass.

There are many accomplishments I want to complete throughout my time at MSU. Currently I do not have a major, but consider myself as business-preference. I’m shifting myself towards supply-chain management, but also conflicted between advertising.

When I originally came to Eckerd College, I was super excited and nervous about leaving home and coming to new area. Also, I was super nervous about not knowing my major. I was in between a couple of majors and couldn’t decide because everything interested me. I also was super nervous about not being able to make a 4 year plan once I did pick a major. But once I got here my peer mentors guided me and helped calm me down when I picked my first classes.

Just two years ago, if someone would have told me that I would have a 3.9 GPA in college and that I would have dreams that are close to coming true, I would have laughed straight in their face. I was never truly inspired before in life, and I thought, with all the trouble that I got into in high school, that I was just a bad person, and that bad people do not get to achieve dreams.

My college experience and performance could be compared to that of a rollercoaster ride. While fresh out of high school, I had a vision of majoring in Chemistry and being accepted into medical school. However, a few early bad grades, a couple semesters off, and an unwilling desire to attend school, have brought me to the position I am currently in.
