About

I started college with the best intentions but was young and did not realize how important grades really are. I got married and flunked one of my final classes which kept me from graduating. I decided to return to school after my divorce and once again life hits me with another gut punch and I have to put school on the back burner and focus on my children. I am very determined this time to finish my degree and start my journey to my own dreams.
