The truth


    The majority of you figured out the truth! I had a cow as a pet for a little over a year; she lived in my garage. My dad had to give her away when she grew up.

            My semester has been a little tough. I had to drop a class because I felt overwhelmed at the beginning of the semester due to all the assignments, but I gotten the hang of it now, and so far I can say my semester is going great.
            When I dropped my Intro to Education class in September, I was a little upset. I didn’t want to drop the class but I knew I had to if I wanted to get good grades and be able to do all my assignments properly and on time. Having to drop a class because I didn’t have the time to do my assignments that frustrated me, I felt disappointed. So I began to look for a solution. I realized I had to work less in order to focus more in school, but how could I do that if I had so many bills to pay. A good friend told me you need to get out of your apartment, so you can pay less rent; I had never thought about this what a great idea, but where am I going to live? Many friends offered their homes, which I appreciate so much, but I am so used to living alone that I wasn’t sure I would be able to live with other people. I found the cutest studio in a great neighborhood I will be moving next month! I spoke with my boss and explained my situation, she has given me the opportunity of working less hours, so I can take more classes and finish with school soon.
            It’s very easy to lose focus I stay motivated by reminding myself the reasons why I am doing this, to help children improve their lives and become successful individuals. My family and friends have always supported me, they are the ones that keep me going.

  1. Keep up the good work, you are doing great. Don't be discouraged if you dropped a class or two, just remember that it will only make you try harder. I wish you the best of luck in finding a place where you could relax and call your own.
